Sawyer right before he tried to run through the doorwall

STITCHES

my mom
would not like that I
never clean my
doorwall but I
tried it one time with
disastrous results – with no
mud prints or paw streaks or
drool stains – the dogs thought the
glass door was open – the impact it
nearly broke
their heads.

Tulum, Mexico: A dead thing, some flowers, a skeleton bouquet

Tulum: Beautiful sky, beautfiul people, beautiful yoga teachers

SNAPSHOT

if you
spend your whole vacation just
taking pictures to
preserve your
memories to
fill up a book – your
only real
memory is
taking pictures.

-Ryn Gargulinski

Tulum: An ugly thing, a typo, a coconut fence

Tulum: Little dead people and a big head

Tulum: Speed limit, speed bumps, autos built for speed

Tulum: Death mirror, donkeys, a mask

Tulum: Mussels, green stuff and feet

SURRENDER

the waves say “hello, I want to
suck you in” I want to
let them – I want to
gush to the
bottom of the
ocean – ride
rampant with the
free weeds in the
sea – I want to swim
quick with the sharks dart
twixt coral as sunfish swish
slow as a sailfin who
glides in the breeze – to
slither and ooze like the
eels – who have
nothing else or
better to do.

Tulum: A yellow thing, a man, a burnt out chunk of driftwood

Tulum: Afternoon on the town

Tulum: A swingset, a flipper, an iguana
