I know you love me
but you don’t like me
You’ve got plans
and getting me in
is a squeeze
I’ll give you credit
for trying
doing your duty
pretending
We’re strung together
through shared DNA
not the love
of closeknit spirits
A mishap
of mutual genes
a mish-mosh
of family ties
I know you love me
because you have to
but I wish
you knew me because
we were friends.

A chest of childhood
opens retroactively
memories spill out.

Summer steam rises
trickles slow down sun-kissed skin
sticky sweet season

Verdant nestled fruit
eats sunshine voraciously

Firecrackers sparkle
homage to heroes lying
in faraway lands.

Granite sky so still
murmers a pledge to open
I wait for my storm
