About stuff (including me and writing)

Sometimes the night is beautiful.


Maybe you'll wake up tomorrow and it'll all be gone.

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun. . . A music higher than the songs that I can sing.

We all wanna go there something awful, but to stand there takes some grace.

The sound of a car, the color of the pre-dawn sky. A trip to the office with my dad, on the back of his motorcycle, in the industrial green van.

Midnight blue. Dark willow, the color of my purple-brown hoodie. Periwinkle becoming pink then perfectly sky blue.

Pre-dawn airplane, sleepy and hopeful, children imagining, anticipating new smells, weather, going far or going home.
