the
dads
hacky-sacked
on
the
playground
the
children
played
knights
mothers
smiled
the
cat
licks
my
arm
while
I
meditate
I
don't
mind
I
kinda
like
it

the
chilly

reminds
me
of
days
grey

and
behind
me
now

the
story
went
that
his
ex
sat
in
the
back
pew
with
tears
in
her
eyes
he
didn't
care
if
the
moment
was
captured
he
was
just
glad
it
happened

I'm just feeling the
air right now. Listening to the
trees and the birds sing.

There is a season
of the witch. It'll be cold when
she's ready for you.
stillness, pauses like
beats in this song, my life, are
strengths like roots in earth

"The helping hand that
guides you along, whether you're
right, whether you're wrong."
-'Your Mother and Mine'
there were hills on that
side flat lands as far as you
could see on the other

I'm
so
lucky
to
know
you
to
hold
you
touch
you
I
feel
like
a
queen

you

it'll
still

she
was
the
same
the
moon
as
any
other
night
yet
avant-garde
she
was
I
could
write
about
the
way
he
looked
at
her
the
way
she
spoke
of
him
Sunday, August 31, 2014
it
was
a
story
he'd
read
of
long
legs
on
the
handle
bars
of
a
bike
I
couldn't
write
today
because
I
did
way
too
much
talking
instead
Saturday, August 30, 2014
my
days
were
so
bleak
then
you
kissed
me
with
those
lips
saw
me
with
your
eyes

the
fly
landed
on
my
iphone
and
it
was
so
cute
just
sitting
there

I
hate
you
poetry
I
love
you

to
me

my
mind
is
so
dirty
but
I
can't
bring
myself
to

about
it

Pharrell
Williams
was
singing
I
wasn't
sure
but
it
felt
like
old
times
there's
a
way
to
live
and
a
way
to
die
we've
plenty
of
time
for
both
I
was
thinking
of
the
day
I
walked
home
just
as
the
sun
broke
the
clouds
Sunday, August 24, 2014
tell
me
a
long
story
I
want
to
hear
your
voice
singing
me
to
sleep
Saturday, August 23, 2014
but
sometimes
her
spells
didn't
work
so
she
looked
for
something
more
potent
Friday, August 22, 2014
I
wanna
be
your
daily
soul
I
wanna
be
the
gold
in
your
river
the
summer
backyard
and
the
children
reflected
in
her
sunglasses
I
saw
a
woman
with
bird
leggings
using
the
pay
phone
it
pleased
me
Wednesday, August 20, 2014
I
dropped
my
phone
in
the
toilet
along
with
my
poems
they're
in
rice
while
walking
I
found
a
feather
that
looked
just
like
David
Lynch's
hair

his
room's
white
and
in
a
tall
building
and
mine
is
brown
and
near
the
grass
the
bed
is
still
warm
and
he's
on
concrete
in
a
box
on
an
island
Monday, August 18, 2014
it
was
a
slow
spell
she'd
cast
it
took
years
to
work
but
it
did
work
it
did
Sunday, August 17, 2014
I
get
nostalgic
for
things
that
haven't
happened
and
cry
a
little
Saturday, August 16, 2014
it
was
like
with
his
sheer
awesome
he
pulled
the
breeze
up
off
the
water
Friday, August 15, 2014
He
did
his
tai chi,
his
inhale/exhale,
and
then
the
old
man
farted.
Tuesday, August 12, 2014
we
love
the
artist
because
he
speaks
for
us
and
then
feel
we
know
him
Monday, August 11, 2014
the
fisher
king
came
to
mind
and
talking
to
me
he'd
made
so
much
sense
Sunday, August 10, 2014
he
embarrassed
me
seemed
to
be
the
main
theme
but
that
was
long
ago
she
taught
me
how
delicious
peanut
butter
and
butter
sandwiches
were
Saturday, August 9, 2014
it
was
with
those
great
big
tired
eyes
she
kept
on
keepin'
on
tirelessly
she
sang
in
tones
I'd
never
heard
like
from
another
world
entirely
I'm
the
girl
that
will
go
hunting
tonight
she
sang
oh
hunting
tonight
Friday, August 8, 2014
I'm
looking
for
the
moon
like
I'm
waiting
for
it
to
tell
me
something
Thursday, August 7, 2014
I
dreamt
of
the
King
in
Yellow
he
was
not
yellow
but
clouded
by
sun
Wednesday, August 6, 2014
I
thought
of
that
big
old
brown
chevy
van
we
used
to
ride
in
as
kids
Tuesday, August 5, 2014
you
laugh
after
we
make
love
and
I
sometimes
cry
it's
quite
warm
tonight
I'm
a
soldier
without
a
gun
a
dagger
of
love
straight
to
your
heart
Monday, August 4, 2014
there
was
a
bat
by
the
river
squeaking
I
got
very
close
to
him
I
squashed
the
bug
his
blood
and
guts
are
now
forever
part
of
my
book
Sunday, August 3, 2014
there
was
sun
and
then
some
clouds
a
little
rain
and
then
the
sun
came
back
Saturday, August 2, 2014
you
could
stop
being
an
asshole
and
start
kicking
some
ass
just
sayin'
I
bathed
in
the
light
unblinded
and
then
threw
it
out
like
bath
water
Friday, August 1, 2014
the
sky
was
so
dark
but
the
sun
shone
and
I
couldn't
ever
know
why
I
wanted
to
spread
my
wings
and
fly
but
instead
I
just
laid
on
the
sand
Thursday, July 31, 2014
It's
like
they
say
in
that
song
all
I
wanna
do
is
make
love
to
you
Wednesday, July 30, 2014
I'm
scared
I've
never
been
scared
before
feeling
scared
is
really
scary
I
miss
your
kiss
I'm
holding
on
like
it's
the
last
line
tied
to
this
ship
Tuesday, July 29, 2014
you
have
it
in
you
just
pull
it
out
even
if
it
takes
all
your
strength
we
wandered
the
city
picking
berries
an
apple
and
tiny
plums
Monday, July 28, 2014
tell
me
all
your
secrets
we'll
run
away
and
throw
them
into
the
sea
Sunday, July 27, 2014
the
sun
in
front
of
me
a
road
behind
I
could've
moved
but
I
stayed
she
had
never
asked
his
name
but
that
was
okay
that
wasn't
the
point
it
was
the
cruise
momentum
that
kept
me
moving
once
I
stopped
I
cried
Saturday, July 26, 2014
when
the
sun
shone
hot
and
the
shadows
were
low
there
she
came
the
dark
horse
the
roses
bloomed
and
all
the
sudden
I
could
smell
my
grandmother's
home
Friday, July 25, 2014
I
tried
to
quote
him
but
Jesus
he
was
just
too
damn
good
to
pen
down
Thursday, July 24, 2014
the
kingdom
would
not
fall
not
with
the
king
so
close
beside
his
queen
I
wrote
feverishly
after
reading
it
later
I'd
said
nothing
Wednesday, July 23, 2014
the
poppy
flowers
laid
down
in
the
rain
and
stood
up
tall
in
the
sun
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
I
was
thinking
of
that
cool
fog
that
comes
in
autumn
it
was
summer
the
flower
stood
so
strong
but
you
could
snap
it
in
half
if
you
wanted
Monday, July 21, 2014
some
days
the
words
come
right
through
me
others
I
can't
find
them
anywhere
Sunday, July 20, 2014
the
politics
of
dancing
ah-ha
the
politics
of
ooh
feeling
good
-Re-Flex
I
had
two
tickets
to
paradise
but
now
I
don't
know
where
I
put
them
Friday, July 18, 2014
I'll
go
to
sleep
tonight
in
my
bed
and
dream
of
a
mosquito
coast
the
clouds
were
dark
and
then
they
parted
like
the
sun
had
been
there
waiting
Thursday, July 17, 2014
plodding
along
one
foot
in
front
of
the
other
is
how
I
do
it
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
snappin'
her
fingers
she
was
movin'
round
and
round
that
girl
was
shakin'
-Eddie Money
there
was
a
tiger
in
my
dreams
that
was
dragging
my
heart
far
away
the
world
in
her
heart
was
dark
and
so
cold
but
the
sun
shone
on
her
skin
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
there
was
an
undercurrent
I
didn't
like
just
below
her
surface
Monday, July 14, 2014
this
pain
he's
put
in
my
heart
will
tear
me
apart
I'll
die
holding
it
who
do
you
turn
to
when
your
love
has
left
you
when
you
have
no
one
Friday, July 11, 2014
if
you're
wondering
where
all
my
poems
are
they're
down
by
the
river
Thursday, July 10, 2014
we
found
a
blue
jay's
feather
so
rare
and
when
we
mostly
find
the
crow's
I
felt
like
Lolita
in
the
backyard
with
her
mother
and
that
man
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
the
sun
came
to
me
and
I
welcomed
her
and
laid
with
her
awhile
falling
in
love's
like
a
punch
in
the
gut
that
you
really
really
liked
read
a
book
laid
in
the
sun
dreamt
felt
the
breeze
drank
some
wine
just
was
Tuesday, July 8, 2014
when
he
holds
me
in
his
arms
there
isn't
anywhere
I'd
rather
be
Monday, July 7, 2014
the
worlds
in
her
head
I
would
love
to
visit
I
want
to
grow
old
in
Sunday, July 6, 2014
she
stood
there
with
all
of
her
lovely
right
beside
all
of
the
ugly
he
bellied
up
to
the
bar
where
they
knew
him
to
escape
those
that
knew
him
the
moon
is
in
the
sky
so
white
and
the
day
is
so
yellow
and
bright
Friday, July 4, 2014
would
you
ride
a
horse
fly
on
an
eagle's
back
or
swim
with
the
fishes
Thursday, July 3, 2014
I
can't
tell
you
how
beautiful
the
land
looks
you
just
have
to
see
it
Wednesday, July 2, 2014
the
girl
watched
the
boy
her
eyes
never
leaving
him
walking
toward
home
Tuesday, July 1, 2014
I
love
love
it
makes
me
sigh
and
cry
and
it's
everything
even
sad
