...
My phone died this week.
I’ve ordered a new one—
I’d like to say I’ve enjoyed the silence,

the descent

...My eyes deceive me,

She is Lost

...
I know she is lost 
but those lost 
can be brought home 

I want to print 
one hundred

             On the disorienting fumes

Through the woods and over hills
Lost in natures peace
