1. stormy dramatics of the morning sky.

2. First Aid Kit's cover of Graham Nash's "Simple Man."

3. Alela Diane's "White as Diamonds."

4. remembering boulder: Jack said, pain and beauty. they are the same.

1. rain falling lightly on yellow leaves on the ground. some have newly been kicked over. for now, with the rain falling around them, they have exposed a bit of dry ground in their shape. it's reminding me of Andy Goldsworthy's work.

2. blackburn auditorium. night. some of the bricks along the side are dull, but some are reflecting the light of the streetlamps ahead.

3. trees by nelson with those salmon-coloured berries. i have yet to figure out what kind of tree they are.

1. yesterday: Belkis texting a message to her boyfriend on her phone. her face glowed with sudden joy, and i felt the euphoria come off of her in a sudden wave of emotion.

2. this cover of the Cure's "just like heaven" by the Watson Twins.

1. sunlight filtering through greenest foliage. two haphazard square stones--perhaps old foundation pieces--commune on the slanted hillside.

2. remembering yesterday: acorns being shaken free from trees by the wind. they fall around me in a cadence not so far from raindrops.

3. a katydid that has expired on the windowsill. i pick it up for cody. it has a cute face.
