Victory Speech in Spite of Winter
Holy shit, we did it
89 days of 15-hour nights that we survived
The many miles in many layers trudged through many inches of snow are behind us
-
Evenings
Do you remember those September evenings we spent together in the playground?
The shiny rock we put in our pockets and the ugly little rocks that got lodged in our heels. -
Patriot
I am a patriot and a proud American, and nothing will change that
I will never cease to believe in the idea of America and the potential this nation holds
-
Sentence
No matter what, it will get better.

Small Child, Big Sandbox
Small child, big Sandbox
The bench tied to the big dog
Big kids digging a hole to China
Little cousins drinking from the sprinkler
-
Awe
The stickers on the lamp posts that don’t go away. That is God. Embedded in my scalp under my hair where I can not see, there is God.

I don't want
I don’t want
the hair tie on my wrist
it’s just a reminder
of how easy I was to keep.I don’t want the flowers.
They died
doing exactly what I did:
staying too long. -
where the map will take you
You can walk as far as the map will go.
You can swim all oceans, seas, and lakes.
You can drive every winding road,
Bike each cracked and uneven sidewalk. -
Beside you, I am not afraid
She says, I’m scared,
and I don’t lie,
I am too.Scared in the quiet,
scared of how much
this matters.Except for one moment:
when I’m beside her. -
scheduled landing
We met like passengers
assigned to the same row
close enough to share armrests,
not a destination. -
A quiet border
We lie inches apart,
faces turned from one another,
like two commas in the same sentence
that never connect.
