31

best today in weeks
phone calls, dates, chance encounters
I’ve been yearning for

30

crisp mountains seem close
just a ferry ride, or two,
and i could be there

29

she loved the fountain
at the seattle center
because of the noise

28

i am pleased with the
art i have done during the
last three sun filled days

27

in olympia
jessi and molly pretend
and ride on the bus

26

quoting someone else:
"no one will ever love you
for your honesty"

25

awoke early but
could not move myself out of
my warm basement bed

24

even in the city
stars shine in the early morn
for me to gaze at

23

the end of the day
came quickly and I almost
forgot that days end.

22

today all the child
desired was to find my knee
and hug it tightly

21

today I felt, breathed
it’s good to stand where you are
to be in rhythm

20

if i sit real tall
at the way back of the bus
my feet do dangle

19

weekly reflection:
witnessed birds bathe, a child laugh,
people as sculptures

18

post ten hour work day
my being is spent, but to
spanish night I go

17

antsy and working
waiting to listen to those
who already know

16

basement living means
snow all night is a bigger
surprise come morning

15

today i marched for
MLK with my little
sister; she was bored.

14

confessed to bosses
I forgot to bathe this week
they looked really shocked

13

Eating four servings
of vegetables daily is
harder than I thought

12

Thankful that I can
run two plus miles without pain.
Soon a marathon.

11

it's easy to think
that things are too hard when you
don't know your own strength

10

Bus driver stopped me
"Point me to Genesee and
Delridge?" And I did.

9

my job allows me
a year long pass to the zoo
that's where I will be

8

the way it turns out
some days are worse than others.
this is one of those.

7

10 am, Sunday
only junkies, drunks, church folk
on the windy streets

6

my soul hurt today
went to republican steps
to breathe with purpose

5

just finished working
now waiting for a bus pass
to go exploring

4

love growing up, but still
getting stuck in the same place
as i did before

3

a haiku daily
I'm awake longer at night
writing for morning

2

first day of new year
french, cambodian, english
all with homemade phó

1

Dressed up in high heels
Changed my mind, watched the fireworks
From my living room
