 Waiting and longing

For that message to pop up.

Dating anxiety.

44

A year just passes

And it's like you were never here.

Tattooed on my heart.

43

 Waiting for the virus

To overwhelm and suck me under.

Drowning in suspense.

42

 Protesters shouting

loud words uncomprehended.

Muddled messages

41

 Ah January,

The month when courgettes explode.

Vege Terrorist.

41

 Went to a winery 

For a tasting and some lunch.

Shut for holiday.

40

 Eye sockets burning

from aircon disturbed sleeping.

Comfort is fleeting.
