Though I’m never safe,
\nhis arms always comfort me,
\nand that must suffice.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Ballroom dancing class—
\nlearning creative ways to
\ndefeat the rumba.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Morning legs dangle
\noff the bed, as antique joints
\nbrace for their touch down.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Feeling elated—
\ngreat, yet dampened by knowing
\nwhat’s soon to follow.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Poised atop mirage
\nof a career, gazing down
\nat life left behind.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
