Jennifer’s poems are a kaleidoscope of emotions: loneliness, love, daydreams, and unexpected encounters, exclusively for Different Truths.
the world walks past
my window without me–
home sick
***
every time you smile
my heart beats just a fraction
faster
***
I’d like think
that your particular laugh
is just for me
***
binging
train-wreck television
no self control
***
in my next life
I'll drive an Astin Martin
Bond girl
***
pi day
snow day
Colorado spring
***
excellent people watching–
opera’s
intermission
***
grief tugs on grief
unfurling the thread of pain
from the skein wound tight
***
turning every corner
at the local thrift store
I run into you
***
stepping into
a spider web in the dark –
I think of Charlotte
