Haiku Collection #10

To cringe or not to cringe, that is the question?

I woke up at 4:52am to ready myself and the kids for our early morning flight. I was feeling pangs of sadness that I did not get as much me time in Florida as I was hoping this past week. I got sunburnt on day two and I don’t know if I have ever been sunburnt before. But now I live in the real Winter of Maine and my skin said to me with a sizzle, “where in the fresh hell are we?”. So I hid from the sun a bit the days after with a cut aloe plant bestie and it was like a glitch in my system. How do I even do Florida now?

We arrive at the airport, through security quickly and seated with a reminder to put my oxygen mask on first and thinking, this feels easy-ish. The plane begins to roll away from the gate and then it hits the breaks. “This is your captain speaking ….”

I guess I am not leaving Florida today after all.
And wouldn’t you know, the sun is out.

Too Much

What if I love more?
But what will everyone think?
That I am naive.

Rules of Society

Stay in your own lane
And mind your business, will you?
How unnatural.

Unbiased

You cannot write that!
The will assume a memoir.
It’s all projection.

Brain waves

The waves ebb and flow
Sans headphones, I can listen.
Like really listen.

Dirty Talk

I want you right there
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Speak up for pleasure.

Interior Cringe

A life, laugh, love sign.
I crinkle my nose at it.
Why do I do that?

Matriarchy

I am not timely.
As I don’t live on your clock.
I keep lunar time.
