Before I share my poem, let me say that a virus deleted all of my pictures, iTunes library, and Word documents. This, of course, includes all of my poetry, fiction, and other writing projects. I have coped with this well, and I owe most of that to Tim Snediker for encouraging me to do this blog; most of the poetry that I'm the proudest of is on this blog. I didn't think I'd ever depend on work put in the public domain, but here I am.
Palpitations
a cigarette stained with pinkpearl lipstick
lays in the ashtray to my right
I can't help but think of love and
how gorgeous the world
is and you there--
the wind suddenly
picks up
I feel palpitations and for the first time
the sky
is my friend
