chopsticks

Eating sushi with my friend

he asks me to teach him the

secret of chopsticks, but I know

that it is something we must

each discover

in our own time.

Laundry

Laundry looms

persistent as

July flies.

scars

chaos rains     shrapnel

sharp words and laser looks

pierce self and ego

leaving wounds and scars

some too deep to see.
