Day 2484

Day 2484

the more distractions,

the better, cuz that’s less time

spent thinking of her

non-Halloween

normally, we’d dress

in paired costumes but this year

that’s not an option

Day 2483

Day 2483

in the dark, my hands

and steps were sure, comforted

by familiar halls

Day 2482/Day 2481

 

Day 2481

I stood near the stage,

closed my eyes, swayed, felt the sounds

as they moved through me

——

Day 2482

with beer and pizza,

I stood in line – my eyes stung;

blinked it away

Day 2480

Day 2480

I look to the clouds

over the lake, and wish for

rebirth as a bird

Day 2479

Day 2479

feel like Orpheus,

trying so hard to not look

at what’s behind me

Day 2478

Day 2478

everything I see

seems a metaphor of sorts –

meaning surrounds me

Day 2477

Day 2477

I was mesmerized –

the undulating branches,

moving with the wind

Day 2476

Day 2476

Beyond the high wires

far past the interstate ramps

a rainbow shimmers.

Day 2475

Day 2475

in the morning sun,

our nerves and excitement warmed

us up for the race

Today, I and some friends participated in the Dirty Dog Mud Run (costumes optional, we opted ‘in’. :))
