The Empty Cupboard
Pardon the leaf litter.
We’re doing renovations
on the mushroom house.
I’d offer you honeyed milk
or a bun of some sort,
but my husband
brought them to the queen
with a giggle and a snort.

Book Covers
The mouse told me
the mochi were tainted,
so he traded a smoke
for the entire lot.
I should have known
it was just his racket,
tho’ you gotta wonder
whether I, myself,
am a bit of a troll or not.
