routine
not ruined
not stopped
just adjusted
for guests

i love my kip’s little head nods
of a great beat —
the impulse to dance
while sitting and programming at the table —
there’s only so much you can move,
so kip moves
their head in a nod
as if to say
“yes
yes
yes
this beat
is
yes”

this puppy
is so damn stinky
what on earth did she eat
that we did not see?

birds
distract
from writing
from trying
to get to know
the inside of my own head
maybe
they’re saying
‘get to know the earth
and the universe
first,
for “you” are just one part
of all’

creativity
is
as creativity
does
and creativity
does
frustrate me
so it is
frustrating
[i think]

the sinus headache is strong
this morning
and putting pressure on my sleep glands
to nap nap nap
all day
April 14, 2024
the puppy howls for us
and the howl turns into a growl
which explodes into one more bark
and that is our alert
that there are neighbors
in
the neighbor’s yard
how dare.

don’t craft
after
11pm
each creative has
different rules/
a different time
to ~stop~ by
but
the guidance remains the same:
there is a moment when
you are too tired to
cut/poke holes/hot glue/craft however you do —
decisions made when brains crave sleep
are never decisions awake brains will keep
[and some decisions are
more permanent/less fixable
than others]

sudden
inexplicable
sadness
hopefully
this is just me
taking on my spouse’s birthday depression
and lightening their load
somewhat
before the day is over
[hopefully]

watching Kip
the day before their birthday
assemble legos
and read fun facts and trivia
about the plants they are re-creating
with little plastic bricks
for me
is love
incarnate
