w&od
when i start i know
it will be dark before i'm finished
but the thickness still surprises
the white dashes stretching into nothing
no sense of rise or fall
water running alongside
breeze of soccer field grass
windows lit in distant trees
porch dog watches yard deer
and i watch, push, stretch
batteries warn, then fail
know better: the sun fades so softly
settles into wetlands
onto trailside benches
turning off time
leaving only space
the air to make it home

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
