Originally appeared at Mojave Heart (now defunct) June 2019:
mid-august Tower Point Lookout
socked in with smoke
visibility two miles
hottest day of summer
sitting out on the catwalk in the little breeze
reading Maughm + Kushner
swatting yellowjackets
plans + possibilities for the winter
visiting friends in Boulder Brussels + San Juan
and/or living out of my truck to save money
no regrets except about people I hurt
no one to hurt up here except bugs
but still: floating what-ifs of teaching
of a real paycheck + esteem + women
grateful to have escaped all that
almost time to play guitar + sing
while a hawk circles at eye-level
