Extra Special Bitterseeing
my reflection
expecting
someone else
muted voices
the hidden depths
of the sea
graduation day
my grandson's perfect
Windsor knot
suppressing a laugh
the dog's head tilt
when I try to shush her
alone at the bar
an extra dash
of bitters
morning headlines
looking up the ingredients
of existential angst
ornate or tacky?
gilded trappings
in the Oval Office
blue moon
lightning strikes
again
recently discarded
a withering daisy
without petals
craft beer bar
poring over
all the choices
