    On my recent road trip to help my friend Tara with her move — flying out to Alaska followed by a long drive down the Alaskan Highway and then down to Iowa — one of the things I hoped I would see was some of the wildlife… even if only via the moving frame of the car window. I wasn’t sure what exactly I might see that would be different than what I might see within the boundaries of my own state, but I was hoping to see something different.

    the second plane of my flight to Alaska

    I am back home and I survived my 3500-mile road trip adventure. In fact this is my second day home, but I’ve been so exhausted that I haven’t been able to muster up the energy to write anything substantial. I didn’t even know how tired I was until I was about 90 miles away from home — that was when my brain gave my body permission to feel the fatigue of driving that distance in just over six days. And since (even today), I am drowsy and more interested in napping than doing nearly anything else.

    It was an adventure, but if I were to do it again, I’d probably make far more stops to enjoy the scenery (at least in Alaska, Yukon and British Columbia). But we were trying to cover as many miles as possible so that we could get to our respective homes and settle back into life without have a household on a trailer for someone to muck about with in tow.

  • toss

    there are no words
    only silent slipping
    between shadowed sheets
    veil cast upon veil
    and falling, falling
    to the killing floor

    pointing bones
    scrawled words scrim
    i toss the words to flame

  • her rain

    under her folds
    her hands
    her rain

    under her under
    returns her rains
    again

    she follows rain
    books upon books
    entry upon entry

    fusty future histories
    after her storm
    rain rain her rain
