Na/GloPoWriMo Day Four: In Dreams

sometimes I dream
that you have come back
I hate waking.

Na/GloWriMo Day Three: Catching up

writing many poems
hoping I don't run out
of enough ideas.

Na/GloPoWriMo Day Two: My Marriage

my marriage was located in Tuscaloosa
on Bariwayne Circle
in a house that had seen better days

my marriage lasted thirteen years
that seemed to speed by
a week seeming to be a day

my marriage began to end
in a hospital emergency room
where they put you on life support

and it ended in a hospice bedroom
that was decorated to look like home
quiet with no life saving machines
just us.

Two down. Twelve more to catch up. 

Na/GloPoWriMo Day One: Meta

my life is catching up
fourteen days of poetry
in one day
so much to do
due to my own
putting offedness

I want a new metaphor.

I am so late to Na/GloWriMo this year! And it's not like I am in quarantine with little to do. 

Saurkraut

In your face yogurt!
Fuck you Kefir and Kombucha!
My probiotic's fermented cabbage.

Maybe I am starting to feel better. I want to write again. I'll be back here soon. 

The Dead Hear Our Thoughts

     There are many different thoughts about communicating with the dead. Some say that it is impossible. Others say that the dead can hear you when you talk to them or can even hear your thoughts. Current scientific advances have determined that the dead can in fact hear your thoughts. This can be a great comfort to those who have lost a loved one. Now the living can be assured that the loving thoughts that they have of their loved ones go straight to them.

            However, there is a downside. The dead receive all thoughts of the living. The newly dead find this overwhelming at first. They often find themselves inundated with thoughts their loved ones have while on the toilet, especially. With time, the newly dead can learn to edit out thoughts, much like with hearing. This ability does not apply to thoughts that are about, or somehow invoke the dead.

            Medium, Sylvia Tanner, says that unwanted thoughts are a problem of the afterlife.

            “Often, in sessions, the beloved deceased will send a message to their living loved ones to please not think of them so much. I usually don’t pass those messages on to my clients, it affects how much I get tipped after the session. The most common request I receive is from grandmothers of young adult males. Apparently, thoughts of Grandma have a certain cooling effect for young men during intense moments of intimacy. Grandmothers hate that. Stopping orgasms makes it difficult to enjoy the afterlife.”

            The takeaway here is to think responsibly. Keep your loved ones in your heart and minds, but not when you are doing something you wouldn’t want them to know about when they were alive. The dead will thank you for it.

This is a rough draft. The idea I had was funnier than the execution, I think.

forbidden word lingers
like a needed release waiting
wanting the unwantable

Alone

the earth revolves
the days pass by without
anyone else here.

Since You've Been Gone

no more happily ever afters
just come back
