Pond
Pond Pondering in life’s pond that spreads before me. I watch scum like old memories sink to the bottom out of sight out of mind turning into covert fertile and fermenting mud that I squish between my toes. As the pond grows older it bustles to life before the algae bloom of age consumes all…
Coping 1 & 2
Coping 1 & 2 I prefer chasing dust that’s floating in mid air, …dreams. Rather than gathering dust with a dust rag off coffee tables and fireplace mantels …reality. © SB Joy, 2023
Last Moments
Last Moments Many, many years, to many years gathered within a man’s chest, within the last fifteen minutes of his last breath. His memories drowned in dust and fallen leaves.
