Poem a Day 2026

 31 feelings in 31 places

butterflies and old huge rock

link my shadow between glassy river water and slow July sun

kaleidoscoping beads in a line

made from air bubbles         on individual strands of my hair 

I take it all soggy to the tent

land back on

base naked sweaty slick

before the sun drops

I wash the softness         downriver

blurry eyes absent

take a self portrait         under the 

circle of pines
