and the echo after the words
as if seeking laughter
hung heavy without landing
causing questions to be asked
steady without answers expected
forecasted outlasting overwhelm
taking the helm and steering clear
there's a ship to shape but no escape to hatch
plan the random so it all stays odd
even as the band strikes twelve
laughing as the stars finally fall

30 august

there's a balance here and the clear is check
connecting upside down to sideways and beyond
a shift in the alignment, might be attitude
truth enough to stand upon
quiet still to shuffle past
in the stars the space between is dark
hide the wait the wonder until time
smooth the thoughts to slip beneath the door
open locks and turn the missing keys

29 august

here the look feels and the sky clouds...

a path to the sun the moon the grocery store...

find the ingredients for more

28 august

take notes with hope and pull the rest together
dreams made of chickenscratch recipes
happenstance vocabulary and suddenturned corners
there's a warmth to combination
stories on this page are true, this one not exactly
there are more questions than definitions
missing links and strungtogether looks
we are the books we write ourselves
we are our only readers

27 august

sunshine spread golden across toast
satisfying sound and melt
heat between the fingers
there is satisfaction in simplicity
fit together sky and clouds, moon and stars
nothing to answer, all still to know
solve the day with night
light the next with dream

26 august

crossing over you realize
there are no lines but those we draw
an irrigation circle, a river
square blocks of roads unloading miles
winking pools and playing fields
crossing guards and border stops
check the points and choose the way
collapse maps to destinations
create new routes to grow truths
building a face for the space
replacing the chase with landing

25 august

just around the corner
and up a few flights
that also come down
in their own good time
at our own right place
there's space enough for sharing
fit to dare and time to spare
all around the mulberry bush
readygo take one and two
