My breathSeems to come slower these daysAs if it felt unneeded or, perhaps,Unwanted. Like awakening at nightBy the moment of day that stuckFeeling like a burr between toes.When I want a pink sky to swallowMe like the silos and red barns andHolsteins’ hooves digging brownedGrass. Soon it will be green again,I want to promise, without […]

Tell me if this has ever happened to you: it’s Monday morning, and you’re ready to get some writing done. In your head, you’re already publishing a blockbuster article.
