deciding on how
deciding on how
much is edible and which
parts are compost is
not muscle memory, a
fresh bamboo harvest awaits

it is easier
it is easier
to lose our way
than find a
way back – this,
we all want to
believe, as we stretch
into a new shape
and try not to
boomerang

sandwiches, dumplings,
pasta, repeat – virtual
happy hours, topic

shower, check emails, repeat

with years under
the belt, we will not

lost somewhere,
searching a false
bottom for a semblance
of stability

there are traditions

i am suddenly more
i am suddenly more
distant, stay
more still
for fear of being
caught pulling
away. i sneak in
one more
bath than is
routine for our
kind of winter,
trust that the water
bill will not turn
me in. i head for
bed earlier
or later, find pockets
of silence in the
dark comforting.
i no longer wait for
you to take notice,
i can do this
entirely on my own
