Outside my window
Fog haunts the sprawling city
Hiding spring’s beauty
Let us celebrate
Proud Mexican heritage
Cinco de Mayo
Introverts converge
Writers conference safe spaces
Finding energy
Busy bee writers
Scatter about the conference
Fresh books to create
Roll over and sleep
Deep breath to set worries free
Take no calls today
Touch ignites my heart
Deep kiss smooth hands warm bodies
Passion wrapped in arms
Push firmly on keys
Watching strikers hit paper
My story begins
Lone cloud standing guard
Protecting the mountain top
Preparing to strike
Sandy dry creek bed
Quiet steps, still mountain air
Deafening silence
Strung across the line
Bodies perfectly balanced
Birds perched on high wires
