I hope my words bring you the best of things

I hope you feel hurt
feel a reflective guilt in the places where
you can see your own sins
I hope you feel empty
feel the hollow echo resonating
between our two souls
I hope you feel cracked open and raw
exposed to the core

When I tell people that most of my best friends are people I met in an online community and who I’ve never met in person . . . I get some funny looks.

Based on this premise, her

After we moved from the suburbs to the country many years ago, I lost interest in Halloween. Trick or treaters don’t trudge from house to house when the houses are a mile or more apart.

But the moment my lips touched Claire’s,
I threw the whole damn book out the window.

And I deserved the punch to the nose I got for it.

Going swimming Saturdays

At the Fish and Fiddle Inn,

Little sandy strip of beach

Just up around the bend.

Jumping off the deep end

Between boats docked at the pier.

Cloud my memory with haze.

 

Sunday afternoon,

I am so thankful that February is over. I had so much going on that every second felt like it had to be accounted for, otherwise I was wasting time. I’ve still got a lot going on, and I loved every minute of February because it was a blast, but now that it’s over I feel like I can breathe again.
