My nighthawks are back,
heard them last night
Alway glad
to hear them, brings back
good memories of my hometown
and the nighthawks that flew around St Francis
Xavier church and school parking lot
in the summer.

I think I never updated you all
about my cat.
He came home.
He still has the heart of the stray

just flashed through my mind
saying “I knew you

I saw an emo today.
It was precious.
Made me just want to hold
the poor dear and whisper
in its ear “It’s okay–
I too dislike the establishment.”
And then we would shamble
to the nearest coffee shop
and I would teach it hipster

So i hear last night on the news
two fisherman that didn’t come home
the other night and found both of their bodies
yesterday morning at the mouth
of the detroit river.
That was the day the wind was blowing
out of the south and i didn’t go out.
When are people going to learn, check the weather,
don’t take chances,
the fish aren’t worth it

I never cared about nothing
so much as I care about REAL.
Not even guitars or chocolate or being
happy. Because sometimes happy is
a lie. And lies don’t feed my soul.
REAL feeds my soul.
Real is messy and unpredictable and
sexy and vulnerable and freeing.
Real drives me on, teaches me,
plays with my longing, stirs my deepest
desires, feeds my soul.
Real feeds my soul. Real feeds
my soul.

Oh

to encounter myself
on the street
one evening.

I’m so thankful to say…
I like working as a substitute teacher
I like the students and the staff.
Every day I go
I learn something new.
I enjoy being
a mother,
married to a pastor,
nursery director,
choir member….
The lines have fallen
in pleasant places.
