31

Don't take in the view
On this last day of the year
Just moving my limbs.

30

My friends have babies
I do my best to make sure
I keep up with them

29

My body's less than
Agreeable even though
I'm careful with it

28

Call this to do list
"end of the year to do list,"
but it's ongoing.

27

Time. I have the time.
It's a luxury most won't
Ever fully know.

26

Yearly ritual

Of catching up with Jenna

The fountain mists us

25

Wake up to the Greens
Child on my lap, typewriting
Then I'm off to spa

24

Watch Mike wrap presents
Eat his leftovers with chips
Then watch Justified

23

Beautiful and weird

Work on something I don't get

But can't wait to see

22

Walk out the front gate
Arms stretched up to greet day, Drew
Then down flight of stairs

21

Up all night's easy.
I'm making coffee poorly
and fanning out fog.

20

Leave overnight shoot
To see Okkervil River
and enter the past.

19

I'm appalled to spend
Hours handwriting HR forms
There's a better way

18

My age is not old
But my body still fails me
Swollen from standing

17

My California

stretches years back now with friends

all over the state.

16

Orange gear and boots on
Slippery land and dead dirt
Charred hills with no boars

15

"You ok?!?" "Do you

need a pillow?" and "You're my

enchanted princess."

14

Drive north with Laura

She's exactly who I want

To talk with for hours

13

Bristle a little
Like I made mistake, didn't
Try to learn from it

12

To walk into home
Where I live alone and find
Dinner is cooking

11

Trains pass each other
Woman looks out, not at me
Beyond, trains speed up

10

She tells this story:

Grandpa's girlfriend's pets' ashes

In old tupperware

9

Can't get belly full

Eat helping after helping

Is it the winter?

8

Rewrote Loretta
From her point of view because
Townes didn't know all

7

Floating on something
Fletcher said to me while we
Walked down to Sunset

6

We've been here a year
Celebrate with petting zoo
And a couple cakes

5

First real work on set
and I learn and ask questions
on 18 hour day

3

Have new confidence
In this path I will follow
I will make my life

2

Didn't want to stay

After shorts presentation

But I did, was good

1

Unemployed, day one
A gentle ease into time
I'll set my sights straight
