Friends?
a prose poem about the space between friends and something more
I don’t know what is going on between us. Having been friends for so long before, but then I kissed you. I asked and you said yes, I could. I believe there was even a please. Then it was two weeks till we saw each other again. I kissed you on the cheek. You blushed. But we never discussed it. Then you were gone again. When you came back you had COVID so I couldn’t even see you. And now you’re home. Two and a half hours away for the rest of the school year. Are my feelings fading? Are yours? We hardly talk now. It took so much for that first kiss. What happened since then?

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
