all over
thoughts roaming
taking flight
into unknown
for speaking
ideas found unwanted
inappropriately spew
creating havoc
during amicable
interactions together
changing moods
towards unintended
feelings displayed
morphing normalities
to the point
of not being
able to say
I can
expect this
-Jennie Nawrocki
relationships without
contact fizzle
from unknown
worlds apart
understanding nuances
of who a person is
without reinforcing
positives regularly
separate individuals
for even memories held
become faint
as those that rely
only on reports
gossip from others
twisted stories
rather than
discussions personally
direct conversation
that involves
no others
just one-to-one
as though
they are the
only people
in the room
getting to know
each other
depending on those
interactions complied
becoming more
frequent in nature
allowing themselves
chances to know
each other
they as themselves
because those
relationships without
contact fizzle
-Jennie Nawrocki
mished mashed
letters single
or double
parts of several
intertwining many
reveal persons
inner circles
delegations of a few
that writing
one word
in particular
could offend
so many as
you didn’t
understand what
was really
written in
the form of
mished mashed
word searches
-Jennie Nawrocki
in the night
rolling tires whirr
the sidewalk glimmers
from the days rain
under the street lamp
frosted glow
slightly the wind
glides upon each cheek
as the scarf loosens
from under its
owners coat
leaves scattered
sporadically along
the pavement
opening the gate
singing with its
change of position
hurriedly closing
with a crash
once he passed
dressed for the evening
planned elaborately
takes a deep breath
presses the doorbell
the silence builds
anticipation of the wait
opening the door
he speaks greetings
“Good evening is helga here?”
“Sorry she does not
live at this address.”
the door slams
-Jennie Nawrocki
flat in looks
though billowy
in texture
blankets cover
smoothed high percale
decorated sheets
adorned with cushions
pillows for a rest
provide softness
as the body lays
in several positions
slumber consumes
previous forms
tossing and turning
with thoughts
swirling around
barely frequent
compared to the comfort
of winding bodies
intertwine effortlessly
creating momentous
exhilarating exhaustion
allowing slumber
eventually overtaking
the events of the day
spreading over
into imaginative dreams
-Jennie Nawrocki
tragic is death
no one wants it
we all yearn
for survival
to spend another
moment here
living with those
close to us
our family, friends
even acquaintances
strangers we never
met though
among our help
this is the world
pursued daily
bringing excitement
in the midst
of another’s company
-Jennie Nawrocki
the head is heavy
when it takes on functioning
it shares with the heart
though the heart only
pumps blood
the head senses
heat, cold, and pain
it calculates movement
need for nutrition
remains active in
thought gains along
with organization
dispensing information
shutting down
when too much
take a break it says
now is the time
to relax
-Jennie Nawrocki
energy of activity
the need to care
posses with each blow
one right after the other
fighting is no use
and the wind will
only become stronger
barricading within
is the only solution
maybe it will save
the structure
when the storm passes
though they took
what they needed
followed emergency
evacuation orders
and left it all there
-Jennie Nawrocki
it wasn’t expected
finding friends
those helping
of which their
infallible support
kindles happiness
generated daily
some unseen
can only bare
to see my vivid
realities displayed
each day
and through night
ripening views
somewhat public
although completely
privately discreet
using this communication
merely standards
willingly born
amongst cooperation
friendship allows
-Jennie Nawrocki
relatively unsure
while outcomes
decided privately
for the future
is unclear
any action
is able to be
construed and twisted
surrounding thoughts
opportunities available
until a choice
is made
allowing efforts
of progress
momentum building
towards events
never imagined
-Jennie Nawrocki
