for the dirt between my toes

Slow growing friendships,

gardening,

dirty hands and feet,

being shoeless,

climbing trees,

journaling,

playing guitar and singing,

shaving our heads,

listening to new music,

sitting on top of a moving car, swimming.

Trudging water

from the well,

making a mosquito

farm in the

rain barrels

(accidental),

taking shelter from the rain

in the top of the barn,

stepping on glass

and three days later

yanking it out.

Drumming offbeat

and ugly

and all sweet,

referring to jacob as it

and sasha as Spoon

and jade as Fairy

and Yawn as Aum

and sone as Sun

and brian as Chronically Sixteen

and cole as Twink

and cormac as Closeted

and arlo as Love.

Ah, yes,

how sweet indeed!

how lovely it is

to be you and me!
