AMAZE
Sandi Blakemore-Baig
 
Storm Warning

I wake
to gloom, am doomed
to feel the pain as rain
hangs like a cement house ready
to drop.

Tough Love

The doe
bathes its young one
with her tongue as a sponge
she nibbles and picks off the tics
like scabs.

Shopping Trip

I get
lost down an aisle
of grief. Shelves stocked high, deep -
with my cart too full to even
check out.
