had a wonderful blip of a break
quelled the rumbles
slipped away for an afternoon and a day
watched the sun slice through trees
casting a barcode upon my path
why can’t I sleep outside every night?

put on some extra layers
turned a hundred pages
two, three!
making time for essentials like
listening to crickets and writing papers.

baked intermezzo-style bread (9 loaves)
gaining an hour on sundays
catching sunset in studio is the highlight of those nights.
borrowing a working bike
now will I sail through space on the winds of starlight?
