tx

I drove down Colorado, over New Mexico,
and into the top of Texas.
And back.
In 12 short hours.
I rested my hands on my soft stomach
and let the glasses shield my eyes
waved at every cow
saw the pink-lit mountains at sunrise
I missed a lot of things,
and was content with much.
I spent most of my time tired,
but tried to also see it as fulfilled.

Sleepy

It's a sleepy Wednesday,
and boy am I so tired.
I can't seem to keep the sand away,
I'll lie outside for hours.

A Monday Haiku

This is the morning.
Do you see the dawn's sun yet?
I miss it's orange glow.

Sensitive

I feel a great divide.
Like cold and hot,
and maybe it's something I can taste,
but more possibly it's something I can feel.
I haven't really decided yet.

Sunrise

In a certain way it felt like no one maybe understand.

Enviable consciousness

I wished for days where I tried to be my best person

Sometimes I left behind thought I had

most of the time,

though,

I didn’t

I spent too much time searching for something to reveal itself to me.

7747

Sometimes when I was bored I climbed to the top third of a tree in my front yard,

I got scared climbing that high,

and knew I would be well hidden if I stayed in the center.

But something about the pride made me want to be seen.

I couldn’t find a direct link between anything else in my life and pride, but I let it rest on this regardless.

MM Part 3

Bubbles collected at the rim of the glass

and I watched them surge from the bottom foaming the top.

Happy Saturday

Happy Saturday.
I threw a birthday party last week.
I forgot the invitation list.
But not the chips and dip.
But the cake.
And the ice cream.
It was a disheartening party to say the least.

What do actual people do when they throw a party?
I've made assumptions in my life that now prove to be incorrect.
The amount of time it takes to make lists.
Perhaps, it takes others less time.

And I have an odd anxiety linked to using the internet,
because,
it feels like if it were to disappear I would lose,
plenty
plenty
plenty.

A short haiku

Here's a short haiku,
because I don't have much time.
I'll be better soon.

21 - again

21,
again. With the same
sad,
type of.


I've lost my train of thought.
