just some
morning pages
morning poetry
to get the day going
into the wild
into the craziness
into the sad sad adventure
that is today

~~~

seeing
the babies
step up
to be adults
is great
is great
is great
to see

~~~

green left
maroon right
blue body
and yellow hood
a sweatshirt
for all
for everyone
to be
cozy cozy
autumn

~~~

i can’t really concentrate
today
and that’s okay
that’s okay

~~~

who knows
how much
is leaving my brain
and staying
in any one given moment

~~~

teeny tiny poems
for a big big day

wild

cryptic poems
are no fun
when they’re written for the pure purpose of being obtuse

but cryptic poems
that come fully fleshed
from the depths of your mind
and you had no idea where it came from
or even
what in the world it’s trying to confide
but it’s here
it’s out
in the world

those cryptic poems are okay.

how lost
am i
that i don’t
feel things
except panic

~~~

stressing
less
than i probably should be
given
circumstances
but more
than i probably would be
without
anxiety

(are they related?)

(probably)

~~~

maybe
some day
i’ll finish a
whole big-ass poem

(but probably not today)

it’s still so wild to me
that i can miss the puppy stage —
with all the tiny pounces,
and bumbling bounces,
and round face,
soft fur,
clumsy,
smol, smol creature;
and yet
see the videos/
want to cuddle
but prefer our puppy as she is now —
grown in to her scruffy self,
developed such a strong personality,
knowing her toys,
showing her smarts,
happy smiles,
looking to us
(her family)
for support.

puppies are incredibly cute,
but dogs are where
it’s at for me.

buzzing about
