31

What I want is big
No small feelings or what ifs.
All else, rounded down.

30

Say "clothes" correctly
Catch Mike's ear, I speak of Gabe's
Enunciation.

29

Michael toasts bagels
In cast iron on the stove.
June gloom keeps house cool.

28

Two people sit down
Next to me on my makeshift
Bench to smoke their weed

27

Solo office day
Drink a lot of water and
Relish quiet space

26

In record time I'm
Processing and plotting out
My next short story

25

He's sandwiched between
Wall and kitchen table and
Asks me not to leave

24

Clouds unexpected
He talks of salty air and
Country gets tuned in

23

we're there. was his eyes,
what he didn't say, got me
two stepping with smiles

22

There's a willingness
I have to open up to
Some but not others

21

So happy to have
Michael back home, sharing this
Fern Gully with me

20

A new compliment

Sigourney Weaver's Ripley

Take it, and then blush

19

Talk straight through blood work

Don't let my brain settle on

That needle or that fear.

17

Finding my limits.
Shoot, wrap two projects and prep
new one in eight days.

16

Lowell and I curb sit

Between his truck, my van as

Jonah rolls down hill

15

Didn't make my bed
For first time in a decade
So tired, so busy

14

Brandon drove over
A snake, later saw striking
Scene in dry lake bed

13

Sit in library
Between having to go and
Going to Barstow

12

Refer to day as
A shit soup, and the thing is
I can handle this

10

Standing by, waiting
(loss of life they're processing)
While decision's made

9

I sense I've become
A source of inspiration
To other humans

8

I eat too much cheese
then "can't help" but eat too much
Blueberry muffin

7

Extend eye contact
Attraction's forceful + real
I've fallen in love

6

Looking weeks ahead
To schedule socializing
Out of character

5

Keep "When The War Came"
Repeating as I work out
All my restlessness

4

Circle neighborhood
With new neighbor, then new friend
and dog named Molly

3

Accidentally
walk 9 miles and I've worked out
the feelings that loomed.

2

Resolve to tackle
this day (even though my brain
is not feeling it.)

1

Feel stuck and can't move
Wonder if mom had these days
Had to ignore them
