I wasn't sure what KINTSUGI was so I looked it up, actually I have heard of the concept but I did not know that was the word. A good analogy to use in your poem

I actually did not guess she was going to another state to get an abortion, but now you have said that I get it!

In response to "Get Back! (For Jojo And Loretta)"

Thanks Bri!! The Jojo here is made up, but there's definitely a Loretta in my apartment building I used as partial inspiration.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jenny! Yeah, it's set in the American south, where states are trying to ban abortions and make it a crime to travel to another state to get one. This activity has been a lot of fun.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

I love this Version of "She's leaving Home" - When I was a kid my Mum used to play the Sgt Pepper album and I loved this one, I like the way you have set it in America (Greyhound?) To make it a bit different. It tells a story and flows well. You have written some great poems for this competition!

In response to "So Tired"

Well, I know a herbal remedy or two...or some physical activity
that might do, might do.
Hugs and chin up.
We of the great order of wokeness will win in the end.
Just ait, around the bend,
even those Repubs bubs will see
throught the orange hate and glee

A Hard Day's Night Is Often Lonely

The routine remains unchanged.
Workin' all the live long day,
then off to the same bars
with the crew, hoping
we'll cross paths before last call.
I know I probably should text you,
but that was hours ago and
maybe I'm not in the best
of conditions at the moment.
Besides, I don't want you
to think I think you're
only worthy of my time
after dark. Another missed
opportunity at something
more substantial. Still,
I can't get that first night
off my mind. It plays
in a movie behind my forehead
as slowly burning, just like
the liquor goes down
and the tab goes up.
Instead, I'll lazily flirt,
halfheartedly, with
nary a backup plan
'til I carry myself home.
And I'll do it again
tomorrow, and the next day,
and the one after that.
Work, rinse, repeat.
Ya know, I'll feel alright,
even if it's not you
walking through my door.
Or anyone else, for that matter.
