Day 21: Song of Solomon Chapter 4 Did You Marry Your Sister?
The great irony of this entire experiment is the first day I had an official day off from work is the day that I did not remember or was too busy to post, so now I have to post twice today. Perhaps even more annoying is I have plenty of drafts in the cue to…

Day 14: Song of Solomon 3- Crunchwrap Crowns
Back and dreaming dreams in the song of songs in the blog of blogs in the November of Novembers. V. 1 She dreams that she is looking for her lover, (the bed, the place where we think and drift and hopefully find rest or we spend our time being restless). V. 2 In her dream…

Day 8: Song of Songs Chapter 2: Lillies Galore
Today we have round 2 of walking through Song of Solomon. Day 8 of blogging. I’ll admit it is more of a challenge than I thought. But some days writing is simply discipline. Break out the book and song and lets go for a quick walk. V. 1 she compares herself to a flower. Whenever…

Day 6: A Talk With My Father We Never Had (Audio Reading)
The only time we ever talked about love Was the month following my heartbreak Around Thanksgiving of my 24th year. I did not think I could keep going quietly, honestly And you did not have much advice to give. In the wake of that winter you visited once And I had very little left to…

It’s Patient

Prose: Simple-Hearted
In the spring, it became apparent we had lost each other for quite some time. I had become rote in my ability to disappoint. You had become distant before and after discussion on top of discussion. Together we suffered and our affection caught glaucoma. Nearness and touch gave way to a glance that at times…

19. 32
I’d like to start this poem by stating what I don’t intend to do this year: I won’t buy any more trading cards, unless I am really compelled I will not delegate my dating life to a phone application, unless someone convinces me I will not doubt my calling or despair if I don’t get…
