Let's go back in time
I'll start in December and
Upload these haikus.

Two coyotes on
my street feels important, want
to see where they sleep.

19

When the tornado
Comes into my brain, I stay
Calm, tell it to pass

18

Wrestle to get the
Words just right. So they say just
What I felt that night.

17

Recall, after we
sang There Ain't No Ash Will Burn
I led Don't Think Twice.

16

she had a dream where
she was sad and channeled me
and got on a bus

15

no exploring here

just talk with old friends of where

we are, what we mean

14

put me on a train
at sunrise and I'll wring out
this life I'm living

13

He described this bar

(hidden, beat-up, tiny) as

very you. I go.

12

I leave first so I
can walk these dark, cold streets in
the snow by myself.

11

solo drinking and
pianist plays Honesty.
this is my heaven.

10

We buy pizza for
the train ride to Philly and
rush to the station.

9

lesson very learned
can't catch up with folks and get
my stories written

8

just because it's all
coalescing doesn't mean
it won't make you cry

7

stick me in a nook
where I can see the action
but go unnoticed

6

little girl and mom
eating ice cream in airport.
eye contact and smile.

4

Try to beat Cody
at Mario Cart. Who am
I kidding? I lose.

I've felt the earth shake
when reality's revealed.
I go back for clues.

ice cream scooper reads,
I stare, he feels my eyes, cranes
his neck to see me
