An online commonplace book
Orion. Peaceful hunter.
Loyal friend. Leave winter
on my doorstep.
Words from lovers. Words
with friends. Instagram Stories
we tell ourselves.
Soft navy linens,
stuffed with goose down, hug my skull.
Eyelids flutter, shut.
We lived side by side
Shared walls and parking spaces
Armenia called
Morning clouds graze east.
Sweat flows from our temples.
We Labor. We Play.
Knees bent. Shoulders squared.
Gooseneck up. Snap your wrist. Fly.
Chasing perfection.
Earth’s little brother
traps the cosmos in my mind.
I pause. I wonder.
Sand in the floor mats.
Surfboards speared through the backseat.
Waves at dusk whisper.
Merciless jungle.
Poison arrows, Jaguars lurk.
Radio silence.
