I NEED to miss my writing, Like I NEED to miss my kids. I don’t want to be without either of them all the time, But periodically. Turning it off, pausing, and turning it back on again- Fixes most things. For a break. For a refresh. To resonate in that space of *NOT* And embrace […]
Its an inexplicable sadness: A barren field Golden crisp and shorn, Where large rolls of hay Rested just long enough to be depended upon. Then so suddenly departed As if they rolled off into the night. If I could go back, I would’ve been bold. Crossing the crackling expanse, I’d lay prone over the bale’s […]

When I say I can’t do this any more What I’m really saying is I will do it with a diaphragm that isn’t cooperating That I will do it while scraping my knuckles and not notice What I mean is, I will do it to the tune of my leeched bones rattling When I say […]
I’ve been thinking about foxes. A lot. Mostly in pictures. My thoughts, I mean. The foxes aren’t in pictures. They are free, unframed. And doing fox things. I see foxes.
