“Missing”
Waiting for a post,
using social media
as proof you’re around.

Waiting for a post,
using social media
as proof you’re around.
Steve D
Ask the wrong questions,
receive incomplete answers.
Can we start over?
Steve D
Curled up on the couch,
or sitting in the window,
waiting, ever hopeful.
Steve D
Dark matters, light years,
unending expanse that must
be bound by something.
Steve D
New toys, contraptions,
new faces, hugs, and places,
an endless delight.
Steve D
Thousand little lights
pulsating at random, but
in concert — patterned.
Steve D
All others away,
except those dedicated
or out of time off.
Steve D
Beating the traffic
and gathering for presents
well before the rush.
Steve D
Twenty-plus years on,
bantering after dinner
into the wee hours.
Steve D
Refreshing, earthy,
like cold nights, a fire-warmed hearth
from one aroma.
