small mighty things
Nov 20, 2023
the news cycle is taking me
places I’d rather not go
my orchid has two tiny new
buds its on its fifth blooming
I woke up too late to call my
mother at her facility today
a good friend called to check
on me it felt warm and fuzzy
I answered honestly when
the server asked how I was
the book I’m reading allows
me to both escape and arrive
homemade soup alters my
mood more than costly drugs
a hat I ordered arrived today
it fits over my hair in a bun
the air outside seemed extra
full of cool oxygen today
my apartment is still cozy
warm without any heat
this day is different than
yesterday and tomorrow
