Home
All I know is there isn't much
I'd rather do than be home with you.
Making tacos in the kitchen
or laughing at the cats,
or gathered together watching shows
and listening to you laugh.
Even just lying in bed,
hearing you move in the other room
is so much better than a distant place,
a party scene, a cocktail hour.
I prefer when we remember the hush
of turning pages and shuffling cards.
The two of us, you know, and a worn old house.
The kids and the cats, too, all moving the dust.
So the purpose of this blog is to be a space to practice creativity. I am currently using it as a place to record a single, unedited poem for each day in 2019. While I attempt to write everyday, I may not actually post daily. Instead, I will post poems as they are completed, but one for everyday of the year. Not sure I can make it, but we'll see. It's fun to try regardless :)
