Oh this writing--the poem-a-day-writing itself-- yes(!) but you are so masterful at capturing the unknowingness and wonder of what you (we) walk through (the days) into a sort of glimpse into the known. And I feel like the first paragraph is a model for artists who express/disguise guilt for not being in their social realms with some form of excuse but you express something more honest down throughout this piece and open the space itself as though it is the stranger to get known/you have yet to know---its all poetry to me. Beautiful. Can live in your pocket?

A while back, you wrote about being a starter, and have often alluded to not necessarily being tied to the finishing. I hear you!

I start writings in my head. Often multiple times a day, and sometimes the same, or edited versions of one writing, continue along for a couple of days. But I very rarely write them into being.

These short but twinkly poems of yours are inspiring me to *maybe* start writing on paper, in one of the many books I’ve made in which to start a something... *maybe*

I LOVE this project Margaux
