ok, y'all have convinced me to start posting recipes. here's the one i had for dinner tonight:

1 1 1/2-pound butternut squash, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, halved crosswise, then cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide wedges (i actually used the "bulb" parts of two squashes, reserving the "stem" parts for roasting as rounds with clove and brown sugar. but whatever)..
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, cut lengthwise into...

The whole thing sounds like a hit-the-high-note day.

I only wrote, and hit a few of the mid-range notes.

it's a heart, beating.

still the body folded into a blue corner. pressing a toe against the floor. the point of contact: is this for real?

inkdots starring into creases of skin. listen: they crackle as they spread.

As you probably already know, anyone who uses "palimpsest" in a sentence or outside of one is going to have my crush allegiance.

sit under the blanket, doll. you wouldn't be able to see the sun anyway. your sweat smells like two-day-old flowers and your eyes are the color of raisins. let's make dinner out of something in the neighbor's trashcan. let's find the tallest hill in the city and pin a love note to a tree at the top. let's sit face to face and i'll inhale...

woke up at a little before 9 this morning. perfect! i should be able to go to sleep tonight at 10ish and wake up in time for early yoga tomorrow, hopefully.

i'm just worried that maybe, because i slept at my parents' house, the strength of habit that normally keeps me in bed for so long just wasn't there. we'll see.

there are fields and...
