September 9

Temperatures fall
(historically low)
along with your food.

September 12

My sister:

"The smoke has rolled in"

You had already fled
(too early);
you were already here.

That day
on a computer—
researching, 
emailing, 
writing.

(361 kilojoules every hour)

SEPTEMBER 13

Hands that collect you—
along rivers,
arroyos,
paths,
trails—
weigh you.

"of the hundreds of birds we
assessed, none had fat stores
on their bodies"

9.5 grams too light

(361 kilojoules too light)

September 20 

I see you on a screen.

Dream:
flicker of wings.

Remember: 
the flicker of fingers.

(Such a small movement
connected to so much.)

November 18

Visit places you paused.
Retype September 12th.
