Decemblog! 01/31

After a week of papers, projects, and exams I am soooo ready for December. As I will have a little bit of extra time this, I have decided that I am going to post once a day for the entire month of December. I have decided to call it Decemblog!, and I have roped Max into this so that I will have someone to keep me on track (also to get him back into the blogging game). The rules are, I must post once a day every day of December. (Though a post can really just be a sentence.)

Now that the rules have been set, I would like to move onto today’s very random entry.

First off, a poem.

The Taking Tree

I carved my tongue
into your trunk
footprints, handprints
my skin stretched
across the bark
You taste of bugs
of burrows and maggots
it consumes me
and I can no longer feel
the cold wind tearing
my flesh from you.

I am seriously looking forward to Christmas. I get to see my dog again for the first time in a year, and hang out with my mom in Washington DC. I miss the states, especially Target and Nutter Butters. Canada should really catch on and open a Target that sells Nutter Butters, then I would never leave.

One Day Down, Thirty to Go!
