box full of poem scraps, ideas, ideas,
songs in
a minor key.
moleskine diaries,
thank you
harrison, kooser,
thank you
hemingway,
thank you.
does every writer
try? or why
limit it to writers?
a good bonfire
might help.
lines about the theater
and mosquitos.
moving the box
means moving the creek.
from the mesa
you can see water
at the base
of the canyon.
