She’d forgotten her hat—icicles were forming on the ends of her hair—and her shoes were wet from the Chicago streets, but the ancient fur-lined gloves grandma gave her protected her. #vss365 #glove #vignette

It held her dreams and captured her tears, but never her losses. Those happened elsewhere, in text messages and rooms with beeping machines. If only her pillow had arms to cradle her. #vss365 #pillow

#vss365 #sing after when grief was new (what an awful phrase) out walking with your dog now my dog I would find myself humming a song I used to #sing “There is someone, walking behind you, Turn around, look at me…” and I knew I just knew it was you letting me know after

If you are afraid to #sing, to dance, to speak because you once battled the system and lost. Time for round two. You are more prepared now. #vss365 #poetry

I don’t want fireworks or resolutions or a calendar heavy with promises. All I carry into the new year is a quiet dream of your hands choosing mine without hesitation. Let the months be ordinary and the days unremarkable. If they end with your love, I already have everything. #vss365 #poetry #dream

After skimming the 20 page contract, the partner replaced “in this Agreement” with “herein”. “Aren’t you lucky I’m here for you?” The associate nodded, focusing on his collar so her eyes wouldn’t roll. #vss365 #associate

The giants stare each other down. We watch from their toes, one misplaced foot and we are gone. But we don't act like we're subject to the whim of their #caprice. We shout at them, and each other, sure this giant will be the first to listen. We must sound as loud as butterflies in the wind. #vss365

Fixing my bike, hands full of grease, rode out to the rhythm of dawn’s #caprice. Driving through sunrise, paradise glows, splendour reveals itself as the morning grows. Scenery blooms, no longer bound life spins forward, good vibes all around. ~rev #vss365

So will our doom be petty cares or merely brute #caprice? To push up never-ending stairs and blindly pass by peace? There’s much to marvel at in life, but minds are far too strewn with fickle fruit and buried strife to mirror a poet’s tune. #vss365 poets.org/poem/yet-do-...

It was easier to call it caprice than admit his memory was fading, but he still stopped to pet every passing dog and smiled when she brushed her hair. In these moments, he was still with her. #vss365 #caprice

Home Aide Paul wished her a good morning but heard no response. She’d left him unplugged again; his #power supply was low. He called out a second time, vibrated, flashed a light. Nothing. After a third try he was supposed to call for help, but he wasn’t sure he had enough battery for both. #vss365
