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.

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.

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!

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

I Am For No One

Day breaks. Heart aches.
The city sleeps alone and
awakens to the chaotic love
everyone longs to share.
I am fulfilling but unfulfilled.
Catching stares. Reflected glares.
Contentment only lasts for so long.
I'm a sidewalk; you're a car.
Do I want to play in this parade today?
I'm not sure it even matters.
Attentions span. Intentions wan.
I crawl back into my bed
knowing I did my best to be
sociable, even if it isn't much.
The city joins me in a rest
nobody else can understand
for I am for no one.
I am only for me.
