been
considering
it

writing
an
ode
to
the
ode
Saturday, October 29, 2016
I
sat
by
the
door
though
it
was
cold
I
could
smell
the
rain
when
it
opened
I
tried
to
ignore
them
through
the
repetition
of
angel
olsen
the
older
men
chatted
they
had
been
friends
forever
I
was
jealous

my
wedding
ring
and
pretend
I'm
really
kissing
you

brought
her
light
and
she
brings
me

looked
at
her
and
waited
for
her
to
say
something
but
she
never
did
Monday, October 24, 2016
she
sits
by
the
backdoor
when
riding
the
bus
she
has
an
anxious
way
Sunday, October 23, 2016
the
light
came
in
I
didn't
care
what
they
were
saying
with
their
pictures
Saturday, October 22, 2016
and
those
bushes
so
common
that
look
soft
but
stab
me
like
the
cactus
Friday, October 21, 2016
in
my
lap
I
nosed
her
curls
I
want
to
keep
you
forever

said
Thursday, October 20, 2016
I
was
troubled
restless
envious
and
wished
I
was
better
received
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
may
I
rest
in
peace
praise
be
and
come
back
as
a
pink
lady
apple
Tuesday, October 18, 2016

she's
watching
our
soap
like
I
am
wondering
what
I'm
up
to
Monday, October 17, 2016

I
cooked
bacon
for
dinner
I
wrote
some
poems
and
kissed
my

Tuesday, October 11, 2016
he
was
a
man
of
faith
without
his
mountain
without
his
sun
with
no
sky

shut
him
down

could
hear
her
missing
her
alps

the
husband
answered
the
wife
but
the
wife
was
talking
to
the
cat

really
love
saying
those
words
Monday, October 3, 2016
my
tears
are
cold
in
this
weather
that's
all
I
have
to
say
about
that
Sunday, October 2, 2016
she's
a
presence
that
likes
the
creative
she
sets
herself
up
for
good
when
the
book
you're
reading
describes
the
season
in
which
you
are
feeling
Saturday, October 1, 2016
I
don't
want
him
to
need
me
I
want
him
to
want
me
crave
me
hurt
for
me
Friday, September 30, 2016
my
daughter
my
voice
from
my
body
to
your
mind
take
her
with
great
care
Thursday, September 29, 2016
touching
him
is
over
sweet
never
and
dying
is
forever
he
sang
to
me
he
had
his
eye
on
me
I'd
go
home
with
him
forever
