morning coffee
the upstairs neighbor dragging
furniture again

gusty day
sun and shadow dance
on the curtains

scent of rose tea—
memories of summer rain I wish
had been endless

winter evening
the old man’s garden by the wall
half leafless

scent of bleach
filling my bathroom—
the upstairs neighbor’s

crisp morning
struggling with the aftermath
of anxiety insomnia

on a blanket by the window, then

while the printer spits papers
the cat’s round eyes

the morning, I try to forget
the past
