You toss superlatives at me
like a short order cook
flings eggs at a griddle


I love you more than any man has loved a woman.
A ring, a daughter's name, a retirement plan.
I love you the max.

You are
the water bottle I take to work
the jars of canned fish hiding in the cupboard
the baking supplies unused on the kitchen table
the night that falls
the patch of green that joins the sidewalk to the street
the bedspread I crawl under
alone and waiting when I can't sleep.

You are for me.  
You are.  You can't not be.

After the end
she wore the beige bra that she bought for him
because he liked plain things  
under a dark turtleneck that meant she was mourning
their loss even if maybe he wasn't

she shivered into the street
and watched the palm drop on the moon,
the stars pop out like street lights whose bulbs you couldn't change,
their high up light bleached the night,
falling over the Prius, bouncing off the half-bumpered Honda, sliding down the metal window connector of the neighborhood's only El Dorado before ending up on pavement like most things do
the garage seemed to radiate and
other people's windows glowed yellow

as she turned to go
a cat rolled across the four lane road
like it was a meadow

The trees duck and sway
A branch thrown here, a leaf dropped there
A trunk flung across the walk

The cars drift as
their neon headlights scratch the black
To find traffic lines
To guide their climb

(not finished)
I sit in a window behind a curtain that looks like bark
I water my plants, I sit on finished wood
And I wait
For nature to run away

Hi Seattle
I'm back and
I've got a sunburn.

Most mornings I stay up late.
Most mornings I regret.
The pattern persists.

ten tries to get a good shot

the words, the feel, the scene, its meaning:
A slave stood whispering
"all glory is fleeting."

vacationer paraglides into window of own hotel.
lol.

We are the land
of the free because of
the brave.  

Best.
BBQ.
Ever.

3 easy steps
race, class, gender intersect
Words cannot express

Gratitude for those
who have given.  If I only had one more day.
I really want a pair of roller blades.

Escape for the weekend

Nobody left, the old girl screamed
to skyscraper apartments,
and shopping malls
