Downpour in the sunshine
A blue-eyed horse
Shooting stars in the city
Watching an eagle fly
Spotting a wolf in the wilderness
The northern lights
A red moon
Finding an iridescent feather
Beautiful and Uncommon

Escape
Are you racing down at dawn to flee a scorching fire—
or leaping up at twilight to meet a burning lover?
Things I love II (an incomplete list)
morning toast
the words “archery” and “acrid”
black cherries
summer storm clouds
old photographs
the sound of crows
purple roses
the time — 11:11
wooden boxes
postcards
silver bracelets
long good-byes
campfires
dreams of flying
used book stores
windy nights
chocolate
an old pair of jeans
pencil cases
helvetica and garamond
Perspective
Walking along the rail tracks,
reckless empowerment grips me—
if I really wanted to, I could jump a train.
I start to count the ties,
lose track, and head back home.
The current
Barges and mallards,
herons and mayflies,
grey geese and thistles
follow the river against the current.
They make it look so easy.
Read: The Goldfinch
The Goldfinch
by Donna Tartt
This book is a work of art. Truly meant to be read and savored.
Change
Even if you stand very still, it will find you.
Fog
Labyrinth in the fog.
Looking for direction.
Your grip is cold,
your breath is warm.
I will follow it home.
Sprinkles
Dark clouds looming low today.
Wishing I could coat everything
in a layer of sprinkles.
