Getting Over a Refusal

everyone is busy
when I extend an invitation
so to cheer myself up
I’ll plan a vacation

Seaside Augury

Boats

espying abandoned boats
on the shore
the visitor worries
that the tide will come in
and carry them afar

the locals laugh
tap
their bare wrists
and point towards
the sun

Promise

Miles of blue ocean
And people who love me
To even be promised such a thing
I am filled with such sad joy
