"Blob"
I just want to be happy…
I want to be with someone
who actually loves me
and cares
and wants me as a partner
and as a woman,
not as a blob
who holds a cleaning spray.

Exit Wounds II By Dawn Mclachlan Bring me sunshine Bring me remembrance of things past And sweet things yet to come Bring me the time that heals All wounds Show me the blue birds over And the sunny side of the street I am done singing in the rain Bring me so much lemonade That these lemons run dry Bring me all the silver linings And show me the sun coming Over the hills In the darkest hours Just before the dawn Bring me that bowl of cherries Because today has none

While dad holds his lifeline
That spools longer than his wife’s did”

“I’m laughing on the driveway,
A melody, watch me float into the trees
Without this burden within me,
We’ve worn nothing but bed sheets all week”

"Lost love was a Honda door
left open on the shoulder of a gravel road.
I debated shutting it,
leaning my weight against it,
but the hinge was rusted."

Hanging the Angels is out now.

An excerpt from a poem, titled Artemicion. I was supposed to be in charge of the sorting machines at Headquarters, supposed to keep the mail delivery service running on time. On the day my father would have turned 73 I used too much Superslick, used it all up, and the machines broke down and stopped working from not enough oil, I guess, adhdpoetry.substack.com

Words often fail us in times of loss and grief. Poetry, however, provides a bridge—a safe space where pain can be expressed, understood, and transformed. Hope you will like the poems. #poetry #poems #losspoems #griefpoems #lossandgrief #saddays #depression

“You & I crack jokes & later, I cry over the sink,
The kids take birthday photos in front of your tree,
They call you their aunt & I wish for eternity,
Like we don’t already have everything
Across lifetimes & what’s left of this season.”

From Lacey to Mogki: Len visited me! Kupo! He said he found a place that seemed interesting, and then he left. I wish he stayed longer, kupo. Where did he go, anyway? Let me know when you find out! Kupo! adhdpoetry.substack.com

Plums

You loved their sweetness,
and their tender blue bruises,
and their cold refrigerated
silent weight.

I pulled one from the fruit drawer
this morning
and ate it slowly,
careful not to let it
drip into the floor.
