Cloudy expansesand Vietnamese noodlesmake relaxing days An infected woundover kitty’s right eye drainsmore than one expects More than anyoneTexas heat really loves summer,hopes it never ends Trees shift in dry airand sway like wavering thoughts,idyllic midday

Starving Artist(ic tools)
The pen grows hungry crying out for sustenance from forgetful hand

As heat grows milder, cicadas reach a diminuendo, September looms. The world’s a scary place if you aren’t the one creating it all.

An increasingly uncomfortable evening at home
Shifting furniture like empty lungs struggling against the void. Immeasurably,the sanity of otherserodes confidence
Refreshing evenings haiku
Voluminous hair Enlightened conversation Cheap bottle of wine A slight break from heat In Central Texas summer But we’re still sweating
A night downtown haiku
