somethings have fallen
dropped off &
been left

dishes have sat
a day too long
wet leaves lie

like a blanket across
my lawn and that
damn leaky faucet
continues its incessant
drip
drip
drop

tending grief
is a job most
leave to professionals
being the professional
I prescribe time

quick fixes leave
bigger messes though
the arduous journey
thru anger depression

denial is worse
than a fire walk with
gasoline undies
