my week in objects (mostly).

August 14, 2020

1. this beat up old document box

{with a brand-new lease in it}.

2. this dream apartment.

{per a certain six-year-old.}

3. these peaches.

{and peach fuzz.}

4. this clamp.

{and old bottle of superglue for a quick fix.}

5. this accidental timestamp.

{for remembering things by.}

other things:

a private and personal responsibility.

belabored.

her poems pulse with the miracle of the porous and daily.

once and for all.

as [he] fiddles and faffs, rome continues to burn.

say it loud.

we have to enact social justice before conservation…can ever reach its full potential.

suburban lifestyle dream.

send some just-because mail.

    I was fortunate to graduate from St. Mary’s College of Maryland where, among many wonderful features, we were blessed with Lucille Clifton as our poet in residence.

      Hey Erin! Congrats on your new apartment! Will your kids be changing schools since you are in a new neighborhood? Also I’m curious if you will be sending the kids to physical school or opting for virtual learning? I don’t mean to pry….I’m just rather confused as to what to do with my own kids so I’m gathering as much advice as possible!
      Thank you xx

        Thanks so much! We won’t be changing schools! Everything in New York still very much up in the air re: in-person learning!
