Notes at 6:16am | #CapturedInWords



 Last night I dreamt of a burnished American landscape in Fall 
My reflection hung and pregnant upon my own gaze; 
A swollen haunting of self, to myself. 
I dreamt of trees blazing a furious trail of death 
Weeping amber leaves.

I dreamt of the rich farmland of New England 
And a sense of time that ran away 
Time is running away.
Racing across a glazed-lit horizon
I saw the faces of children 
In timber-framed windows 
Grimacing in the echo 
Of the plump pumpkin expressions beside them
Smiling toothlessly.

#CapturedInWords


I have a terrible habit of never finishing what I set out to write and you know what? That’s fine. For me, writing is a progressive, evolutionary act and so I try to publish in short, first drafts to give myself less of a hard time and the freedom to capture whatever I feel at a given time. 


You can follow along on Instagram with the hashtag. I’d love it if you added your own, too.
