Jan
13
Saturday morning:
island cold snap
low twenties, salty puddles iced shut
prairie grass stiffened like driftwood
early, a rush outside
turquoise sky
nose, lobes, lips, lashes, lungs
frozen before the top of the hill
I fall head over heels for days like this,
Montana on my mind.
Saturday morning: Daddy and Olive date
Velcro sneakies sealed,
lips pursed to my cheek, then a whisper
I’m going to Baby Sports,
just Daddy and me
just as it was when her sisters were three
not two years, five years ago
oh, where does time go?
soccer, t-ball, basketball mini skills
time together for just those two,
smiles, kicks, bat swings at a balloon
before noon,
a giant box turned airplane
tabletop crafting, duct tape, paint
dreams of flight, talks of dolls over playground or soaring over couch
letting it dry
a nap for all three
a hope the rest will soften Betty’s cough
picked up days earlier
school was missed
I dropped to-dos to hang with her
Saturday afternoon
asleep, all three
I completely waste time
searching vintage inspired bikes I won’t buy,
boots I don’t need
time can fly in the stillness of a home before it’s realized.
A proper date night at Lincoln
seated between two favorite couples
like the reviews said
the flick was fantastic
hard to not feel how history repeats itself
in the words of Lincoln, sounding more like Bob Dylan
amid too much popcorn and my favorite line:
Trust runs marrow deep.
Sunday comes on a clear sky
welcomed with a colder run
where an afternoon was spent in the best of ways
gathered before the swelling joy of a pregnant friend
new babes, abound
thinking of the baby we’ll all soon meet
reminding us all
a shower on a sunny day is a beautiful thing.

I am so glad to hear Lincoln was a good flick, the fifteen year old and I have a date night to see it.
And I’ll take your weather anytime.
so, it’s a swap for weather? i’ll bottle it up here next time it’s grey and send it off:), Tracey.
Oh, this made me smile big. Trust runs marrow deep…. Beautiful. I must see it. xo
Katie, you’ll love it.
“time can fly in the stillness of a home before it’s realized.”
I ought to stencil that on a wall somewhere at my house–lol. I’ve been wanting to see Lincoln for awhile, glad to hear it’s good. Then again, I like most things that DDL does, so.
thank you, Meryl. it’s so true, right?
cold snaps. yes. so invigorating. and i’m sure so beautiful where you are.
baby bumps…definitely reason to celebrate!
yes. lovely and such a change from the grey.

Sounds beautiful, as always.

“sounding more like Dylan”
