like
having
visitors
over
to
get
ya
to
clean
yer
house
he
was
gone
so
long
then
I
saw
smoke
in
the
chimney
and
knew
he
was
home

Tuesday, December 30, 2014

ah
the
wind
and
rain
blew
upon
my
house
and
I
stood
inside
the
cold
walls

he
told
of
Jude
raking
the
fire
before
bed
and
I
liked
him
that
much
more

the
dog
pranced
around
his
big
ears
flopped
he
was
quite
happy
in
the
world
baby
it's
cold
outside
and
I
just
want
your
warm
sweet
arms
around
me

Saturday, December 27, 2014

I
became
old
I
wear
crow's
feet
and
a
sadness
certain
of
knowledge

Friday, December 26, 2014

I
like
when
the
power
goes
out
and
the
house
becomes
cold
and
quiet

then
he
heard
the
unmistakable
sounds
of
The
Young
and
the
Restless
I
think
I'll
make
buttermilk
pie
and
drink
some
champagne
eat
some
oranges

all
our
lives
girl
you'll
be
my
pretty
paper
pretty
ribbons
in
blue

Tuesday, December 23, 2014

you
told
me
you
were
going
to
shave
and
all
night
I
dreamt
of
your
beard

Monday, December 22, 2014

letting
the
past
loves
act
as
ghosts
because
I
want
them
here
with
me
oh
christmas
tree
the
smell
of
fir
and
I'm
in
the
dark
arms
of
the
forest
lights
from
passing
traffic
moved
across
the
wall
we
live
in
the
city

it's
pulling
out
my
energy
this
solstice
but
'tis
the
longest
night

Saturday, December 20, 2014

it's
cold
damp
and
so
foggy
and
grey
I'm
trying
to
make
it
romantic

Friday, December 19, 2014

my
feet
are
cold
it's
damp
outside
here
dear
put
your
body
close
to
mine
I
kiss
his
bearded
face
in
the
morning
looking
toward
the
next
kiss

six
years
ago
today
on
a
cold
and
snowy
night
a
star
was
born

Wednesday, December 17, 2014

I'm
feeling
alright
this
morning
because
my
baby's
coming
home

-Big Mama Thornton
I
dreamt
my
hair
was
strangling
me
that
my
hair
was
strangling
me

a
picture
of
my
fireplace
and
my
two
children
on
Instagram
I
feel
like
the
chick
right
before
it
hatches
super
fuckin'
anxious
I
want
to
feel
that
ghost
again
I
want
to
talk
to
someone
tonight

tonight's
haiku
is
brought
to
you
by
the
letter
M
and
the
number
2

whenever
I
hold
the
stem
of
a
plant
I
always
remember
him
the
wind
blew
hard
the
branches
were
all
over
the
yard
the
tree
looked
scared

Friday, December 12, 2014

and
then
of
course
there
was
my
mother's
third
husband
the
con
artist
the
cat
saw
me
adjusting
my
panties
in
the
middle
of
the
street

sometimes
you
just
gotta
stop
everything
and
rock
out
to
some
Crystal

all
the
poems
I
wrote
today
sounded
so
beautiful
at
the
time

Monday, December 8, 2014

we
flew
over
the
big
city
watching
it
get
smaller
and
smaller

Sunday, December 7, 2014

I
was
walking
through
a
dark
cold
and
mossy
wood
with
light
up
ahead
I
dreamt
I
was
in
the
woods
telling
a
story
of
a
girl
in
the
woods

Saturday, December 6, 2014

I'll
act
through
love
and
with
an
open
heart
I'll
love
you
because
I
can

Thursday, December 4, 2014

meditating
was
difficult
today
I
just
wanted
it
over
it's
a
new
morning
now
but
I'm
thinking
of
the
moon
I
saw
last
night

how
will
she
know
I
love
her
other
than
from
the
way
I
treat
her
love
is
learned
love
is
an
action
love
is
a
choice
love
is
practiced

the
feathers
are
grey
white
black
and
brown
I
keep
them
in
a
small
glass
jar
I
was
thinkin'
'bout
you
and
me
he
sang
so
sweetly
of
you
and
me
