mama says
don’t talk with your mouth full
mind your manners

mind your manners
opening the passenger door
for his new bride

~

(troiku)

tossing and turning
robbed of sweet slumber
out of mind

tossing and turning
thoughts of too many should’s
prisoner of self-doubts

robbed of sweet slumber
counting ten thousand sheep
all night long

out of mind
lovers’ broken hearts
out of sight heals

~
breathe in awareness
breathe out mindless chatter
mindfulness frees
