The fog is a kind of silence
that you can see
it takes the edges off everything
i like the fog
i am often the fog

The first frost kills the annuals
every year
and every year i'm somehow surprised
goodbye to the basil
goodbye to the begonias
see you in may

The amendment process is slow on purpose
they knew we'd want to change things fast
they made us wait
sometimes the waiting is wisdom
sometimes it's just waiting

We got lost
the restaurant was closed
we ate noodles from a place we found by accident
it was perfect
not because anything went right
but because you were there while it went wrong

Still standing
after the year i had

but standing counts
standing is the whole thing

more than the things i said
the unsaid piles up
like old mail

When you stay quiet
you're still choosing
quiet is the choice
that keeps things the same
i see the quiet
the careful looking away
that's a vote too

i'm not afraid of the dark
i'm afraid of what i think about
when the dark makes thinking
the only option
the dark isn't the problem

First tomatoes of the year
warm from the vine
i eat one right there
standing in the dirt
no plate
no recipe
just the thing itself

The hawk on the fence post
didn't move for twenty minutes
neither did i
we had an understanding
about stillness
