-figuring out my new camera
-haircut today...and photos by tomorrow

Dear City of Bloomington
(for tearing up the road right in front of our house and making it dangerous to leave our driveway)

I hope your lawn turns
Brown
and you get bitten by a
Black widow spider.

another haiku

crouched on mossy rock
the highway mimics the sea
a shell to your ear

haiku

a bear in winter
loudly stumbling into sleep,
falls, covered in bees.

saint and sailor...summers reminiscing...



freckled summers
:
turning stones
blackberries staining fingers and lips
firefly rings
exploring cupboards and jars
filled by the world before me;

chapped lips and skinned knees
blanket forts and paper planes
hiding behind cottonwood trees
dreaming of whales and galaxies;


blue calico curtains, edges frayed

old ghosts
someone to read with
secret treasures and whispering secrets;

the scent of cornfields in late summer
(always)
walking the creek bed
taking minnows for goldfish
believing the world an ocean

the brown car, the red car,
the Cadillac.


a garden of my own

these forests.
