Ayaz Daryl Nielsen- Three Poems

someone at this table

seeks a conversation

wants to be heard

it takes awhile 

before I realize

it’s me

the cloudburst’s nostrils

wrapped around our aging house

snotfull and snorting

I write and write and write even more

My creative glands firm and swollen

In a nearby pond, toads are croaking 

parts of the poem I’m working on.
