and We get quiet pretending,
We get
avant and
days Unbegun
upthrust rain cresting ground
where we inlet each grey day
of necessity, we knew you when
12/10/14 click
hey, Emmett Starts daycare
all little voice and
I'll fog off with
Affection: i like the phone
finally
09/22/15
patient, happy, and Unbegun
I plummet into
01/22/16 like a doomed
catalogue of doors, a
parcel of land I travelled
along over words in
The soil of Scotland
A morning but i grass ago
you alone strewn
in Headphones
All Series face
we cry follow as
a life, always seemed
rent inert, i reached for
accomplishments that
start every path with:
he crawled, stood, him
our other alien, our kids
kindness is a child full of
packed weather
in a tide he calls joy a rock
we coalesce, he coalesces
coffee inside
thoughts disappear within
moments, under-currents
and fingers aghast, water for
politics, children lost in winter
i'm where Poetry clouds that which
melts into whatever is there
Behind the now -- 04/20/15 and i
and our night we cement
with early coffee
stitching after a thread
property maths heady
awakening shunt either
tightening economics to you,
or glass, light friend of
everything else stuck by
Windows, some things
Flakes, kid, pain, our's was
a wood Themed aesthetic or
intellectualizing
Early bathroom light
outside to calculate
what a kitchen costs
08/13/15
wonderful eyes click
timber chains
shovel grater today
room and a night
Spectacle, this
peace, and rain
use? Charged,
Canted, retract chest
Our becoming music
the wind reading, digital
water your clout rank
thoth-shaped or ring
inside, moon or toddler
Folding, say to it,
in whatever frosty form:
kitchen never twitter,
Yearning unhinged Windows
means night without
Self, without light, a book full
