Pushing a poem
towards the front
of the pile.

One for you
to know me
better.

One for you
to know who
I am.

One for you
to know I
am still here.

Doing better.
Pushing through.
Gaining ground.

Finding balance.
Occupying a space
in this world.

Live, not just
exist.Thrive,
not just persist.

I am doing well.
I thought you’d
like to know.

The snow is cold
In this
New England town.
