February 3: Soften the Shell

Soften the shell that protects

against both sorrow and joy.

Loosen the grip that holds on to life

but chokes and bruises the living.

Open the heart that closes

to fear and also to love.

February 9: Too Much Nose Blowing

Too much nose blowing in this lovely hotel room where I wish I'd slept.
