casual sports

summer heat and volleyball
more family i don't know
and unlikely i will

glimpse of distrust between serves

following,
quiet uneasiness met with
cascades of recognition and small talk

i hope you know
i was sore for the next 3 days
and still bruised

over thinking

over
thinking
& tiredness slip
fighting over sighs
all waste glorious day

step away
with the wind

&
fall

really attitude
happiness
ideals
all are relative

step away
with the wind

I’m
over
thinking

summer snippets

on the porch:
microwaved oatmeal
big hair from
turning
observing early morning
the mailman
& his high
socks

3 old
women
sit & disregard
& motion when they’re ready to order
music awful
as in general my impatience rules

Tiki Torches
the fire
intense stars
& a zillion stories and laughs
light our faces
we share a Snapple
rummaging for ease
