I
thought
about
the
hurt
and
then
I
didn't
think
about
it
anymore

I
don't
know
why
the
clouds
look
better
from
the
middle
of
the
street

the
light
of
the
sun
was
so
weird
tonight
it
hid
behind
the
rain
clouds
I
was
making
dinner
but
I
really
wanted
to
be
writing
poems

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

she
showed
me
the
photographs
and
I
was
at
once
in
someone
else's
world
seemed
like
the
real
thing
but
I
was
so
blind
mucho
mistrust
love's
gone
behind

all
of
a
sudden
I
wanted
to
take
a
bath
with
all
of
my
clothes
on

Sunday, September 21, 2014

it's
about
a
boy
and
girl
and
the
magic
they
conjured
together
he 
used 
words 
like 
cast 
away 
and 
holdfast 
and 

felt 
just
like 
the 
waves

Saturday, September 20, 2014

he
said
he
has
moves
like
Jagger
but
that
fool
he
certainly
does
not

Friday, September 19, 2014

my
heart
is
considering
something
far
away
something
it
wants
closer

Thursday, September 18, 2014

I
held
her
told
her
she
was
confident
smart
good
she's
still
my
baby

Tuesday, September 16, 2014


felt 
the 
crows 
hadn't 
cawed 
in 
years 
then 
suddenly 
they 
were 
all 
were 
it 
was 
like 
all 
the 
scenes 
they 
write 
where 
she 
talked 
about 
her 
life 
changing 
so 
much 
is 
on 
my 
mind 
like 
all 
the 
ex-boyfriends 
that 
have 
already 
died 

Monday, September 15, 2014

he 
said 
there's 

sense 
of 
confidence 
in 
sitting 
still 

believe 
that 

Sunday, September 14, 2014


visited 
the 
ocean 
today 
and 
something 
there 
made 
me 
feel 
lonely 

Friday, September 12, 2014

it 
was 
that 
wonderful
moment 
of 
silence 
wind 
and 
crickets 
calling 
me

Thursday, September 11, 2014


wanted 
to 
lose 
myself 
under 
the 
stars 
at 
night 
and 
not 
come 
back 

Wednesday, September 10, 2014

the 
dads 
hacky-sacked 
on 
the 
playground 
the 
children 
played 
knights 
mothers 
smiled
the 
cat 
licks 
my 
arm
while 

meditate 

don't
mind

kinda 
like 
it 

Tuesday, September 9, 2014

the 
chilly 
morn 
air 
reminds 
me 
of 
days 
grey 
gold 
and 
behind 
me 
now

Monday, September 8, 2014

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 

Saturday, September 6, 2014

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

Friday, September 5, 2014

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  

Wednesday, September 3, 2014

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

my 
bird 
fly 
from 
our 
nest 
and 
when 
you 
return 
it'll
still 
be 
waiting 
warm

she 
was 
the 
same 
the 
moon 
as 
any 
other 
night 
yet 
avant-garde 
she 
was

could 
write
about 
the 
way 
he 
looked 
at 
her 
the 
way 
she 
spoke 
of 
him 

Sunday, August 31, 2014

it 
was 

story 
he'd 
read 
of 
long 
legs 
on 
the 
handle 
bars 
of 

bike

couldn't 
write 
today 
because 

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

Wednesday, August 27, 2014


hate 
you 
poetry 

love 
you 
poetry 
talk 
to 
me 
poems
my 
mind 
is 
so 
dirty 
but 
can't 
bring 
myself
to 
write 
about 
it

Pharrell 
Williams 
was 
singing 

wasn't 
sure 
but 
it 
felt 
like 
old 
times
there's 

way 
to 
live 
and 

way 
to 
die 
we've
plenty 
of 
time 
for 
both

was 
thinking 
of 
the 
day 

walked 
home 
just 
as 
the 
sun 
broke 
the 
clouds 

Sunday, August 24, 2014

tell 
me 

long 
story 

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


wanna 
be 
your
daily 
soul 

wanna 
be 
the 
gold 
in 
your 
river 
the 
summer 
backyard 
and 
the 
children 
reflected 
in 
her 
sunglasses

saw 

woman 
with 
bird 
leggings 
using 
the 
pay 
phone 
it 
pleased 
me 

Wednesday, August 20, 2014


dropped 
my 
phone 
in 
the 
toilet 
along 
with 
my 
poems 
they're 
in 
rice 
while 
walking 

found 

feather 
that 
looked 
just 
like 
David 
Lynch's 
hair 

Tuesday, August 19, 2014

his 
room's
white 
and 
in 

tall 
building 
and 
mine 
is 
brown 
and 
near 
the 
grass 
the 
bed 
is 
still 
warm 
and 
he's 
on 
concrete 
in 

box 
on 
an 
island 

Monday, August 18, 2014

it 
was

slow 
spell 
she'd 
cast 
it 
took 
years 
to 
work 
but 
it 
did 
work 
it 
did

Sunday, August 17, 2014


get 
nostalgic 
for 
things 
that 
haven't 
happened 
and 
cry 

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


dreamt 
of 
the 
King 
in 
Yellow 
he 
was 
not 
yellow 
but 
clouded
by 
sun

Wednesday, August 6, 2014


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 

soldier 
without 

gun 

dagger 
of 
love 
straight 
to 
your 
heart 

Monday, August 4, 2014

there 
was 

bat 
by 
the 
river 
squeaking 

got 
very 
close 
to 
him 

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 

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'

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 

couldn't 
ever 
know 
why 

wanted 
to 
spread 
my 
wings 
and 
fly 
but 
instead 

just 
laid 
on 
the 
sand 

Thursday, July 31, 2014

It's 
like 
they 
say 
in 
that 
song 
all 

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 

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 

road 
behind 

could've 
moved 
but 

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 

stopped 

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 
could 
smell 
my 
grandmother's 
home

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 

wrote 
feverishly 
after 
reading 
it 
later 
I'd 
said 
nothing

the 
poppy 
flowers 
laid 
down 
in 
the 
rain 
and 
stood 
up 
tall 
in 
the 
sun 

Tuesday, July 22, 2014


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 

can't 
find 
them 
anywhere 

Sunday, July 20, 2014

the 
politics 
of 
dancing 
ah-ha
the 
politics 
of 
ooh
feeling 
good 

-Re-Flex

had 
two 
tickets 
to 
paradise 
but 
now

don't 
know 
where 

put 
them

Friday, July 18, 2014

I'll 
go 
to 
sleep 
tonight 
in 
my 
bed 
and 
dream 
of 

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 

do 
it

snappin' 
her 
fingers 
she 
was 
movin' 
round 
and 
round 
that 
girl 
was 
shakin'

there 
was 

tiger 
in 
my 
dreams

was 
dragging 
my

far 
away
