The Dog Bed

It tilts slightly,
For some reason, it lies on top of another dog bed,
Being put there carelessly,
To clean the floor.
Its gray hue sort of matches the tan inside and the blue exterior.
But of course, the dogs love a double bed.
I mean, who doesn't want to sleep in two beds at once?
But then again, it's a dog bed,
Just for dogs.

    is now gusts pushing waves
    so they crash against the hull

    It tears people apart.
    It brings people together.
    It creates a whirlpool of 
    debating, pointing fingers, and strategy.

    Politics has brought divisions among us
    and identity in an ever-changing world.
  • The Wolds We Visit

    we drift up,
    rising to 
    a land of promise 
    and opportunity.
    A place where
    we can dream,
    and be ourselves.
    We rencounter
    the day,
    and the day before,
    going over it a hundred times
