happy haikoo!



Labor Day weekend away at a cabin in the middle of near-nowhere with M inspired these little ditties. Just thinking of it makes me feel small and awe-filled of how beautiful trees can be and how quiet can be the best music of all sometimes. Hokey? YEAH. But it was really that nice.

somewhere inside me
a little piece is missing
left at the cabin

---------

whirlwind slips away
as the waves wash over the rocks
good-bye to summer

--------

little red cabin
plopped down in-between birch trees
don’t want to go home

--------

quiet except for
the crickets and the water
near sleep, holding hands

--------

crazy messy hair
wild over the pillows
hard not to kiss him

---------

sitting on the dock
neighbor’s fireworks make up
for missing the 4th

---------

holding his stomach,
“it must be all the bacon.”
one pound in three days

---------

the quiet squeaks when
his hand moves, quick, down the neck
perfect imperfection

---------

rain beating the roof
awoken by the thunder
i reached for your hand
