you must have known I'd do this someday

I caught my face's reflection in a monarch chrysalis. Funny how it all comes back around, insect to insect.

Purple Cherokee like a bright wet garnet or aorta.

Harvest.

I don't know, man, I'm in a weird place today. Too many conversations in my head. It got late all of a sudden. My hot run made me want to pass out. I took tomatoes to the neighbors; they were kind and seemed surprised and happy. I think giving things away makes me happier than having things ever could. That letting go. Seems like I'd be better at this.
