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 :)

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.
