Giving Thanks

Expectations

To know what you want

Is a stuffed pantry

Obligations

Follow like the scorned

With nowhere else to turn

Incantations

Perch on tongues

Before they fall in laps

Orientations

Upside needs down

The way money does the poor

Indiscretions

Obfuscate the future

By undermining seconds

Deliberations

Offer promise

Always a little behind

Perorations

Swell inside

Tsunami is too strong a word

Explanations

We can dismiss

As for the faint of heart

Imaginations

One year light

The next night-dark

Transitions

Not my favorite

Time to be

Memories

Closed-circuit connection

To we uninformed

Considerations

Of a room

Filled with heartbeats

Appreciations

Glad to have shared

Space and time

Acknowledgements

The little person

Will be fine as always

Thanksgivings

What we feel

For someone noticing

Misgivings

Steps on stones

In water to our waist

The years now past

To be mined

For nugget expressions

Of unification

And with a supply

I will not hoard

But rather give

Thanks

For…

If I cannot have

My desire

I will be glad

For its discovery

Since...
