no one can beat this:
even in winter, red rocks
perfectly frame us
Day: January 1, 2019
A Male. Dog.
obsessed with this girl
he wouldn’t give up his lust
even without hope
even with a limp
from her impatient snapping
penises rule all
Holiday Lights
i wish i could be
the friend in those dreams you have
perfect, yet tainted
(And He Ate My Glasses)
these pies were hard won
puppies can be unkind beasts
(rebaked perfection)
A Bright Spot
no matter how cold
this tainted world can be
he’s here to hold me
Union Station
that blue sky beauty
that draws the world to us
through transportation
bleeds through their smiles
their too-cold impatiences
their want for fire
Denver can bring it
can bring them all to glory
to what we could be
Always a Hidden Path
thirty below wind
can’t stop the skis from spinning
from this forest view
Neverending
to win a dog’s love
is the lottery, won twice
first: hugs. then: kisses.
Kindness Calls
never thought i’d say:
how proud i am in her choice
(this boyfriend beats all)
polite’s not enough
to define how kind he is
how siblings love him
how he brings her joy
without asking anything
and saying thank you
how simple, those words
how genuine, her smile
how relieved, her mom
