It's my third fall here.

Now, with a dog, coffee shop,

and boyfriend, it's home.

23(August) - 19(October)

He's reading store ads

and I sit laughing/crying

because he's goofy.

(13)

follow my instincts

first with business, now with paint

colors are chosen

(14)

guy in bike kitchen

i know i know him, from where?

oh! guatemala!

(15)

mindlessly we paint

claim this space as ours, i smile

new reality

(16)

while painting, a voice

friend from high school years is here

chance encounter two

(17)

toothbrush in pocket

i show off the space, now mine

then talk of thunder

Nag myself for haikus?,

I think to almost daily.

No. Live first, then write.

(1)

We cry from laughing

and an 8:30 bed time

Prep for days ahead

(2)

get off work at one

means lethargic afternoon

slow moving life now

(17)

Series of events

Leads this sweet dog to our home

And we all want her

Just as my eyes close

I get a quiet kiss that

completely melts me
