Journaling
The eagle stretches
its claw

Journaling
Toy blocks scattered across
the floor

Ladies quilting
Trading
stories

Ladies quilting
Repeating
patterns

Ladies quilting
Stitching together
history

Peeling wallpaper
End of
the argument

September 11
Empty boots
by the door

A jar of ice
cold lemonade
The mortuary table

Two forks
and a spoon
Crime scene

4 am on the clock
Train sounds slowly
in the distance

Promises
Slow leak drips
beneath the kitchen sink

Hands wrapped
around my warm coffee mug
Remembering

Just me
Blood
flows
