ISLAND CABIN

I called Lena for her birthday today and she told me
she's been having her ice cream with olive oil and sea salt.
That sounds gross but is really great. I wish I had something
like that to offer her here.


today I received a years old apology. I have always hated apologies
but this washed over me like warm waves.


also today began a two week pre-move barbeque feeling/reality. the porch is yours.


that reminded me that Ursen has a schoolmate named Reality.


handwriting and envelopes today,


I had the dreams where you wake up and can't remember your surroundings
or what you were doing before, what era.


and walked around my neighborhood like a tourist. I treasure that feeling wherever
and whenever. I bought my first Colorado Tshirt, gray with eagles and coyotes.


and then played checkers with Ursen which is harder to finish than I remember.
it's about like chess at the end, you just run around avoiding.


I met someone who makes eleven drawings every morning. he said twelve completes
too much and wouldn't leave it open enough for tomorrow.
