There is great meaning in seemingly tiny moments, and they often stay with me longer than grand gestures and events. Sometimes I find time slowing down enough for me to commit a moment to memory. Other times, quiet minutes provide waking reflections of time that passed earlier. The small vignettes in "weekdays" offer a progression of moments that added up to something more. They are real, unaltered moments, and metaphors at the same time.

weekdays

often.
                            semi-cold frisbee
                with a dog who won’t fetch,
                but chase for the chance to run,
                                        and a man who still throws
                                        knowing he’ll have to get it sometimes.

then.
                            blankets over tile and broken glass
                warm the night air, and melt
                first words into
                                        rooftop confessions.

sometimes.
                            naked afternoon conversation
                keeps the gray day and rain
                                        jealous at the window.

now.
                            wool tightly woven
                for once covers my ears,
                collects my heat,
                                        and warms every part
                                        of our bodies.
