Last night was a blur. 

The last 12 years were the same.

Who cares? Call your shot.

The heat is the same.

Otherwise, no traits are shared

between then and now.

Two sets of rough palms. 

Endless effort and rebirth. 

Beauty is hard work.

You know how things go. 

Hurried horns beg

through the stillness. 

Brake lights reject all pleas. 

It's easy to get stuck. 

I'm not far now.

Some places you go

to forget. Others you go

to remember when.

Somewhere between here

and Venice, you decided

we would never work.

Mourning summer warmth

the trees cry themselves bare. 

It's winter, 'til spring.

I'm thankful for the

Gusts of wind that carry You 

Back into my thoughts.

Where air and light stink

of dead bait, live lures and stale

tales of lost giants.

I crossed the ocean. 

It was old. and beautiful. 

You would have loved it.

Words of pulp and ink

hit harder than flesh and bone. 

They last longer, too.

Dawn in Little Rock. 

Halfway between Home and home. 

Just me and my dog.

Over between Ray's 

and the carnicería. 

That's where we grew up.

Presence and absence

of light, life, joy and effort.  

Black, white, in-between.

Photos of photos. 

Memories of memories. 

What was who saying?

The Duwamish land,

Unceded and wrongfully

claimed. Now named: Pike Place.

The ripples you make

prove you were there. Even when

you've long left the frame.

"Poor little llamas."

Thought the poor little human,

from behind his lens.
