One Year
Birthday baby,
you are one year old today.
Your mama emailed a picture
of your big toothy smile.
You must have woke up laughing,
just to reaffirm your name.
Joy,
May health and happiness
bless you forever.

Week 9, Day 61 – "One Year"
Week 9, Day 60 – "It Can, You Can"
It Can, You Can
I didn’t know that it could get this hot.
It can.
I didn’t know that you could be this cold.
You can.
Week 9, Day 59 – "Judgment Day"
Judgment Day
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Come down to the Big Top Arena
For a time you won’t soon forget!
It’ll be like nothing ever seen before.
Truly a world shaking event.
Be There!
Week 9, Day 58 – "Love you, Miss Cookie"
Love you, Miss Cookie
Boom, Boom, Snickerdoodle
you’re such an angel
dazzled with glitter
and cinnamon and sugar
I’ll buy you some bling,
if you show me your bing
cherry covered in chocolate
what a state, what a state, what a state to start a date.
Week 9, Day 57 – "Time"
Time
My pocket watch chain snagged on the kitchen drawer pull, and my pocket watch fell to the floor, broken. Now I don’t know what time it is, but I know it is getting late, because the sun is down. I think I’ll just go to bed and when I get up tomorrow I will take it to Amir at the souq to see if I can get it fixed. Amir has helped in the past with cleaning, so I hope he can help with this broken watch.
If not, there is nothing to feel good about.
Week 8, Day 56 – "Fire"
Fire
We live around fires
come together every night
and the fire tells stories
stories about the days events
Week 8, Day 55 – "Dance"
Dance
dawn dancing
glowing day starter
a new life
sun rises, begin
Week 8, Day 54 – "Vampire"
Vampire
some folks suck blood
drain your life, your youth, your love
fulfilling their own needs
with the strength of others
Week 8, Day 53 – "Weekender"
Weekender
a three-card monte drinking bender
finally at home broke from a long weekender
lasting memories if I could only remember
maybe it’s best to forget
Week 8, Day 52 – "Shuffle Up and Deal"
Shuffle Up and Deal
go fish, says the snotty bitch,
she must have marked my cards
cheating ain’t cool, didn’t you learn that in school
i’m gonna have ta teach ya a new lesson
