Cinquain #1 (Stretch marks)

by Laurie Briar

Stretch marks.

Silver ripples

on a pearl pond, he says.

I don't need him to love them, but

it helps.

Kemah Bob

by Laurie Briar

Kemah Bob

The chime-chirp glint in your talk

pep-drawling, through my grit-clogged Samsung speaker

 

like a wise blue hedgehog with salacious 

pips and chings of playground secrets

 

makes my covid swab a shade less eye-popping.

My cobbled, shapeless day seem masterful.

#6 (thank you, dears)

by Laurie Briar

Thank you, dears.

For marched words

rawed bare, from

 

placard rage

to simpered

platitudes.

 

For now, plain,

awful grief

is just. Mine.
