Sleep on this

The circuitry 

Of our circadian rhythm

Is a poorly planned

roundabout

in the mechanics

of menopause

You go that way into 

the night

And I lean

into the day.

Pursuing passion

Passion
is a primitive pastime
she would say
leaning casually
yet precariously
too far back
in a recliner
that could upend her
at any given minute.
Passion
is a primitive pastime
that people pursue
to feel alive.
Passion
can either soar
or sink you.
Fly or fall
what's your call?

that reads your mind
