snuck a dead dog poem into poem-a-day. this is what i've been training for.
ghost ranch (1/2)

once again i’ve brought my dead dog to the party.
not the box of ashes, but the pen-drawn sketch
my friend lenny made six days after she died.

or five. i saw it coming, the way mimsy went.
the hard part was saying it, so i wrote it down:
something small i love is leaving me.

now it’s late morning in abiquiu & i’m alone
in the courtyard, rolling around on the flagstone
breathing, a drawing of mimsy in the shade,

a mug cooling at her side. i said i don’t drink coffee
or need a week to myself but look at me now, trying
not to lie. so i listen: a shrill of pinyon jays

in a juniper trills me from ghost to cobalt sky. all winter
i didn’t see them, not a single thrill of murmuration
& though it’s a hideous sound—a jay’s call, like a

small computer dying slow—to live, to move like that—
seven siblings at my side, six at each of theirs, my god! 
not thinking where’s the threat but being

more than one, not less than any...
the nearly-noon shadows recede & soon
mimsy’s in full sun, where i leave her, the lighttoo bright to stay,
the shrill too clear. i say yes

i’ve seen a rock wren & no, that is a fishless osprey circling

the steppe & tomorrow i might make a cairn of quartz

just to knock it down, slip a stone into my pocket,
put nine postcards in the mail, or begin another poem 
for lenny i’ll try to finish when i’m home—

you had a friend once.
now she’s different.
we remember what we need.

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

i don't know who thought it was a good idea for the high-profile pedophiles in charge of our government to develop a makework program for lesser known pedophiles within our federal policing apparatus. but i disagree with them

When I crawl around
this forest, naked, like
an animal,

I feel the world.

I will change into
the grasses.
When I am eaten up by

the worms,
they will turn everything,
as I do,

into gold.

i took a class with kyle earlier this year, just a couple afternoons of exploring and appreciating sentence structure, and it was a wonderful, rich experience. i can only imagine how rewarding 8 weeks of his teaching would be. the guy loves the written word; highly recommended!

i don't waste a second of my precious time on earth reading the opinions of dipshits but i will spend ten thousand hours taking photos of the Big Dog in repose
photo focused on the greying dark snout of a beautiful brown dog. his eyes are closed peacefully, his burgers drooping from the side of the couch, his bottom teeth crooked and heavenly

I believe this 100%. The moral injury of the period, the grief from not just the too and so many deaths but the kinds of lives we had before, the laying bare of disposability, the non covid deaths it sped, the institutional strain, the collective fear and distrust, the prioritization of work anyway
