I have dreams
That you are not in
There are men I used to know,
Date even
Weaving their storylines through the fog of
My sleep
But the difference between knowing you
And not knowing you
Is that now,
When I wake up
And find they have left me
I am relieved

I don’t believe
That a soul stays trapped in a body
After the diaphragm stops
And the heart becomes still
But
You are buried
Down the hill,
Through the trees,
Over the leaves
And I find myself going there
To speak,
To get the last week
Off of my chest
To wish you the very best
To ask God to take care of you
For me
I don’t know what Heaven is like
But I’m starting to think that maybe we are the ones
For which others should be mourning
Down here
Where we make up love as we go
Where answers are always just a best
Guess
Your head
Pressed against my chest
In greeting
Stays with me
Because I cling to the tangible
Even if it’s missing

These were all taken with my camera phone. I really need to start lugging my regular camera along with me on walks.
Snow days seem slow everything down. You don’t have to chase moments, they just sit there, waiting to be caught.

Don’t write to me
So simple
So predictable
So easy
It kills me
Dreams that are shapeable,
Tangible
The ones you are living
I am so tired
Of fighting this monster
We call evolution
I can’t help seeing through all of the paper
And electricity
What this all comes down to:
Faith Love Fuel
You
Make me want to ride horses
And climb trees
Please don’t write to me.

Why do we willingly break down the borders
Give up sovereignty
Lose the egg shell container
Of ourselves
Become reduced
To a round, orange yolk
Beating
Inside of an egg white that is bleeding
Into another
Losing it’s autonomy
Why do I let you get to me
Why did I let you get me
Who was I kidding
