A place to gather words before they get lost.
Pensive thoughts on the Frost Trail, near where the named one taught, but what?
My journal remains vacant this morning, thinking of walls, and farms, and plots of land
and squabbles within, the metaphors of plow, until a raft of sunlight hits the rock, and then I write
a poem of something lost, inspired by a quiet moment on the trail named for the poet, Robert Frost

A number to call keeps me wondering if I'm in a deep online loop
Whose beep is this boop?

Opening up a can of tuner guitar, though, the banana saxophone sounds increasingly odd; just jotting ideas down in the gutter of the newspaper and reading only comics, remixing Archie in a notebook; Creativity, blooming like a flowers in a coffee cup

You are still there,
wearing the limbs of the Weeping Willow as a hat or headdress or hair, like magic from the book we looked at together as the sun set,
and when your mom, first, and then my dad, called us in for dinner, leaves fading at dusk, both of us shouted: not yet! not yet! not yet!
Bad things may happen -
the morning the sump pump stops working, all you think of is Noah and the Ark
the afternoon the 15-year old car starts failing, all you think of are wagons with horses
the night the television kicks the bucket, all you think of are story-lines on pause
Continue on; this too shall pass

Westerly, of your Easterly, winds bringing in Spring's new dirt artwork
for Algot
Weave me into patterns - intricate by design
I am thread in song in story in inked poetic verse
and where your words intersect with mine
We make love beneath the falling stars – our own universe
Nagging doubts
about nearly everything, lingers as a voice
singing cacophony -
Cast about for reassurance;
this world always get better than it seems
A winter, waning, brings spring mud, a seasonal reason to hate dirt
