“The Foggy Dew”
Bathroom baseboard
Soiled towel heap
Foggy mirrors present disposable mysteries
Pine aromas
Shaving kit bursts
Steam becomes wet sheaths on porcelain
Cut whiskers stick
Nostril hairs trimmed
Unseemly hairs arrive as inconvenient truths
Toweling off
Deodorant rolls
Toothpaste tube squeezed in the middle by a feminine grip
Dress shirt buttoned
Tie over around under and up
A reflection captured in time
Who am I looking at?
Who was I looking at?
Who will I see?
A foggy mirror presents disposable mysteries

There are many projects on tap at the end of this year, so please stay tuned. The month of November promises to be rich with poetry, and we’ll be looking into creating another Advent Calendar of blog posts for 2021. We’ll see a different story, memory, picture, etc. behind a series of mysterious and decorated doors.
