my Saturday morning

walked to Kenton, then
to Killingsworth: coffee, please
WRITE, library, home

gray foggy days are
some of the best days for walks
on ocean beaches

happy to see rain
though timing often tends to
be unfortunate

not doing the pacific northwest justice here!

another short road
trip through green forests! outdoors
summer time with friends.

odd legacies

sorted the Algers
into three piles: me, Em, sell.
relieved, sad, nervous.

my last landlord EVER--thank god

crazy ex-housemate
withholds deposit! angry
emails drafted, held.

stuff falling from trees

on a walk, kicking
walnuts/other kickable
objects is good times.

gardens are magic

I'll just walk by and
eat some spinach out of the
raised bed in my yard

organization

sorting papers like
crazy--shit I should've re-
cycled in NY

repairs

five thirty a.m.
awake, lots to do--replaced
broken toilet seat

I wish opal creek
were closer, but closer it
would be less remote
