the rose and the apple

I
miss
you
so
damn
much
I
want
nothing
more
than
to
cry
all
day
long
family
is
who
you
love
who
loves
you
not
always
where
your
blood
comes
from
my
brown
eyes
are
blue
I
look
for
you
in
the
clouds
and
I
don't
see
you

the
cat
laid
in
the
grass
by
the
fence
in
the
shaded
part
of
the
lawn
Monday, June 9, 2014
she
walked
like
the
sound
of
the
music
coming
from
the
taqueria
the
favorite
movie
the
song
you
always
sang
the
land
you
used
to
walk
the
moon
came
out
white
clear
everyday
comforting
me
until
nightfall
Sunday, June 8, 2014
she
told
me
to
look
at
the
sky
so
we
looked
together
at
the
sky
Saturday, June 7, 2014
her
hair
blew
in
the
wind
she
closed
her
eyes
and
saw
herself
somewhere
else

the
bugs
gold
frenzied
together
mobbed
under
the
sunlight
hovering

my
poetry
is
too
quick
for
me
I
sing
all
the
songs
to
myself
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
she
said
there's
nothing
that
will
make
it
better
I
felt
a
little
better
I
heard
Bob
Dylan
sing
Kingsport
Town
and
I
touched
the
baby's
pink
cheeks
Sunday, June 1, 2014
I
want
to
tell
you
about
the
moon
It's
lovely
so
very
lovely
Friday, May 30, 2014
I
rolled
down
the
windows,
I
let
down
my
hair
and
it
lifted
my
heart.

the
mountain
I
grew
under
was
colored
in
sun
and
shaded
with
clouds
Monday, May 26, 2014
there
was
every
kind
of
cloud
in
the
sky
and
the
trees
had
raccoon
eyes
Sunday, May 25, 2014
long
nights
and
longer
days
the
winds
feel
entirely
different
than
before
Saturday, May 24, 2014
there's
nothing
I
can
do
or
anyone
can
do
nothing
we
can
do
Friday, May 23, 2014
I'd
driven
that
river
drive
so
many
times
but
that
time
was
different
it's
like
she's
waiting
around
for
the
phone
to
ring
but
it
won't
ever
Thursday, May 22, 2014
thank
god
there's
so
many
sweet
souls
in
this
world
that
I'm
lucky
to
know
some
Wednesday, May 21, 2014
the
road
leads
me
where
I
want
to
go
the
land
cradles
me
where
I
stay
today
is
all
about
the
rose
something
of
the
marvelous
sparkle
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
the
twin
bridges
a
russian
olive
down
by
the
yakima
river
you
can
cut
the
flower
blooms
from
the
bush
but
more
just
grow
in
its
place
Monday, May 19, 2014
he
reminds
me
of
unrelated
things
like
the
blooming
cherry
trees
Sunday, May 18, 2014
the
squirrels
kissed
and
hugged
I
cried
cold
tears
and
I
cut
roses
for
the
vase
I
drove
highways
through
brown
lands
and
yellow
suns
and
green
lands
and
grey
skies
the
landscape
is
breaking
my
heart
the
way
I
want
to
be
broken
once
love's
a
part
of
you
that
love
can
never
not
be
a
part
of
you
Saturday, May 17, 2014
the
flowers
grew
from
the
cracks
in
the
concrete
like
they
knew
how
I
felt
the
sun
burned
hot
in
my
rearview
mirror
and
I
saw
darkness
ahead
I
was
anxious
for
our
visitor
sadness
the
rose
bushes
had
bloomed
this
dream
he
was
smiling
and
making
us
laugh
I
was
cold
when
I
woke
the
dragonfly
flew
it
was
blue
and
gold
and
danced
in
the
air
for
us

how
can
the
clouds
be
so
pretty
the
sun
so
warm
and
this
death
be
so
cruel
all
the
horse
ranches
were
still
there
and
the
little
store
and
that
old
house
I
talked
to
myself
like
there
was
some
other
soul
there
but
there
wasn't
it
was
too
much
for
my
heart
I
couldn't
look
at
the
rose
I
was
so
sad
Friday, May 9, 2014
the
roses
are
coming
they'll
bring
some
pink
red
and
yellow
to
the
grey
the
mermaid's
a
horror
of
the
sea
the
unicorn
a
sweaty
beast

we
gotta
get
outta
this
place
if
it's
the
last
thing
we
ever
do!
-The Animals
I
touched
her
hair
with
my
finger
and
wished
I
could
touch
it
forever
hurry
light
it's
dark
and
cold
here
in
this
tunnel
I've
been
gone
some
time
Wednesday, May 7, 2014
I
sat
with
the
sun
in
my
face
it
was
hot
I
didn't
move
away
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
the
bloom
was
early
red
a
rose
bud
and
it
seemed
happy
not
lonely
I
want
your
drama
the
touch
of
your
hand
I
want
your
love
love
love
love
-Lady Gaga
I
rubbed
the
rose
petals
with
my
thumb
so
soft
you'll
die
soon
too
I
said
Monday, May 5, 2014
the
rocks
were
brightly
colored
hills
under
the
many
dark
shades
of
clouds
the
moon
looked
just
right
behind
the
pines
as
it
did
in
the
desert
too
I
was
walking
very
fast
suddenly
I
slowed
to
almost
a
stop
Sunday, May 4, 2014
we
crossed
the
open
range
where
steer
and
heifer
crossed
the
open
highway
the
sky
hills
and
a
sign
that
read
"Shady
Lady
Ranch
22
miles"

I'm
stepping
through
the
door
and
I'm
floating
in
a
most
peculiar
way.
-David Bowie
It
takes
two
to
make
a
thing
go
right.
It
takes
two
to
make
it
outta
sight.

I
think
I
speak
and
can't
stop
it's
painful
noisy
and
under
my
skin
Tuesday, April 29, 2014
I
stood
smelling
the
trees
and
I
thought
how
they
didn't
smell
like
the
trees
at
home.
Monday, April 28, 2014
I
listened
to
his
voice
sing
Willie
tunes.
I
never
noticed
the
wind.
Sunday, April 27, 2014
the
trees
swayed
with
the
howling
wind
even
when
the
wind
wasn't
howling
the
petals
blew
around
me
like
a
storm
and
I
couldn't
see
his
face
Friday, April 25, 2014
a
smart
beautiful
confident
talented
lady's
work
is
never
done!
Thursday, April 24, 2014
I
told
him
I
needed
him
more
and
he
told
me
he
needed
me
less.
Wednesday, April 23, 2014
my
heart
was
breaking
in
love
when
he
told
me
he'd
been
in
love
for
months
I've
got
a
hero.
He's
fast
and
he's
strong,
he's
always
fresh
from
the
fight.

I
don't
want
to
tell
you
how
I
feel
I
just
want
you
to
feel
it
too
Saturday, April 19, 2014
the
caballero
moved
me
and
I
felt
taken
back
somewhere
I'd
never
been
and
my
stepsister
ran
away
with
carnies
and
sometimes
peed
her
pants
how
when
the
sun's
out
the
houses
look
bright
when
it
rains
they
look
drab
cold
Friday, April 18, 2014
when
every
song
on
the
radio
sang
of
love
and
taught
me
about
it
I
wrote
until
my
hand
hurt
I
wrote
until
my
pen
went
dry
I
wrote
I
wore
a
scarf
and
sat
at
the
desk
I
was
a
really
real
writer
Thursday, April 17, 2014
her
heart
was
heavier
than
most
days
and
the
rain
wasn't
helping
much
her
earrings
felt
heavy
and
her
skirt
was
tangled
she
felt
very
old
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
as
I
passed
each
pretty
house
I
got
greener
and
greener
with
envy
she
walked
through
the
tunnel
there
was
no
light
it
just
kept
getting
darker
orange
and
blue
are
by
far
my
favorite
complementary
colors
Tuesday, April 15, 2014
she
tanned
her
legs
in
the
sun
the
children
played
in
the
mud
it
was
sunday
he
wore
a
blue
trucker's
hat
and
when
he
smoked
he
didn't
use
his
hands
Monday, April 14, 2014
while
you
were
gone
the
snowdrops
bloomed
some
of
the
dandelions
went
to
seed

jive
talkin'
you're
telling
me
lies
yeah
jive

disguise
-Bee Gees
I'm
cool
with
you
livin'
here
spider
long
as
you
don't
bite
me
in
my
sleep
Saturday, April 12, 2014
I
thought
there's
nothing
right
in
this
whole
world
then
again
I
might
be
wrong
Friday, April 11, 2014
she
sees
sounds
of
summer
in
spring
and
hears
lights
of
winter
in
the
fall
Thursday, April 10, 2014
he
stood
at
the
street
corner
smiling
at
nothing
and
at
everything
Wednesday, April 9, 2014
the
saddest
thing
I
can
think
of
the
happiest
thing
I
can
think
of
Tuesday, April 8, 2014
It's
not
at
all
like
I
thought
it
was
and
now
I
have
to
rethink
it.
Monday, April 7, 2014
love
is
bigger
than
you
if
you
open
your
heart
it
eats
you
alive
sun
tea
warm
potato
salad
cold
hose
water
grill
smoke
bug
spray
grass
the
sun
glorious
on
my
skin
I
could
rule
the
world
with
it
or
sleep
Sunday, April 6, 2014
I
stood
in
the
yard
with
the
scattered
toys
and
thought
how
good
my
life
was
the
night
winds
were
not
comforting
they
sounded
hollow
just
like
I
felt
Saturday, April 5, 2014
the
traffic
lights
swayed
in
the
wind
and
that's
how
I
could
see
the
wind
sway
our
lives
drifted
apart
then
of
all
things
it's
death
that
brought
us
together
Friday, April 4, 2014
I
drove
past
the
library
the
post
office
the
old
homes
of
my
youth
Thursday, April 3, 2014
driving
and
crying
the
petals
were
pink
and
white
the
grey
river
shone
all
a
sudden
every
goddamned
thing
he
ever
said
came
back
to
me
Wednesday, April 2, 2014
I
know
you
so
very
well
now
but
some
day
I
won't
know
you
at
all

she
wears
flat
shoes
at
all
times
just
in
case
she
needs
to
quickly
escape
