  • Orpheus

    My whole life I have been trying to tell a story so beautiful that the world would fall in love with me.

    That is why befriended words and stage lights.

    That is why I watch the details of the world

  • A few Julys ago

    Remember the girl?


     

    She’s in second grade,

    Maybe

    Blond brown curls

    Blue green eyes.


     

    She’s sitting on the top metal pole of the fence

    Chipped green paint

  • Wait

    It's summertime in Montana, and because we ranch, because animals and plants and the weather are on their own time, I sit around and wait a lot.

  • Doors

    The gears click

    spin

    twirl into place

    the momentum of thousands of dreams

    swinging

    gliding

    leaping

    across the vast emptiness we call home.

    The dreams

    along with hopes

    fears

  • Childhood obsession

    A childhood obsession, sure.

    That's how it started.

    But it's all I am -

    It's who I am -

    It's the deepest

    Truest

    Version of myself I could possibly be.

    The notebook.
