Rest is deceptively hard

Darkness holds its own
Rest is deceptively hard
The street-light’s ally
Dawn’s light is now here
The highway sound now louder
Crows conversing
A crescent moon
Tinted red by the wind’s
California remnants
“Aretha Franklin”
I honor her by saying
She’s earned my RESPECT
Aretha Franklin Sang Her Way Through America’s History. Her Passing Is the End of an Era

Oh teriyaki
Seattle’s taste sensation
Such beautiful food!
Early morning light

p style=”font-family:"”>Filtered by smoke
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Rising from California
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Demanding access
<
p style=”font-family:"”>To my lungs
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Though I resist
<
p style=”font-family:"”>My coughing
<
p style=”font-family:"”>And sneezing
<
p style=”font-family:"”>State clearly
<
p style=”font-family:"”>I have lost
On the edge of sleep
I’m dreaming of road journeys
In a VW van
*pronounce Vee Dub.
Though not inspired
Only feeling weariness
Force myself to write
