squirrels click clack on the roof
and race to each side
a scramble to catch ass?
Mother Nature moves on &
the way of life presents itself
in sync with spring.

some people build their lives
on tearing down others
their world, full of torment
and bad tastes in their mouths.
I steer clear, stay in my lane,
and only swerve when they’re
nowhere in sight.
I’m damage control,
controlling how much damage
enters my life. #NaPoWriMo #Poetryβ A Cornered Gurl (@trEisthename) April 28, 2020

I remind myself
that amongst the suffering
I am breathing
I am healthy
I am here
thousands upon thousands
into millions
will never have the
chance to say
those words again
that’s the reality
of a new, messed up
normal#NaPoWriMo #Poetry #Writing #Life #Death #Pandemic

I don’t stare at it
I give myself time away
from its demands.
we aren’t the best of friends
we aren’t the worst
I’ve learned to ignore
my loneliness.
there are three basic rules;
no water after midnight
no hoarding past loves
& absolutely no going back
to what I left.β A Cornered Gurl (@trEisthename) April 26, 2020

watches you, they observe

on your journey
the yellow brick road
is their golden orb
but they’d happily share
it with you
that’s the power of
selflessnessβ A Cornered Gurl (@trEisthename) April 23, 2020

I hear the cars creep by
the silent hum of the street
with each engine
plowing its pathway
to wherever
the dog switches

she must be dreaming
of someplace other than here–
other than our reality
