dark and goes downstairs to put on the kettle for coffee she fills small sections of her daughter s bento box with goldfish strawberries and salami while the water boils she puts away dishes sorts pilings on the table while the coffee steeps she writes snippets of stories between sips of coffee letting the animals in and back out again by the next hour she dresses and winds along the back roads

friend colleague manager poet graduate crafter naturalist even if you know how to type some of the keys will stick some of the keys may hesitate leaving a faded letter in the middle of a word it s inevitable some of the keys may not function as they did once some of the keys may not know their cue or have grown tired of responding she fills a whole page of letter after letter bringing words together some days she barely manages a few lines but each day all these parts of herself line up without a clue who may finally take the stage megan m codera like loading april 7 2018 april 8 2018

blends with the clouds difficult to decipher land from sea from sky waves make great strides to define the shore sandpipers scramble along an absent edge the surf recedes muffled by the wind and you are dizzy with the pull uncertain of how to spin without a focal point of how to walk without holding your breath megan m codera like loading reconsider april 5 2018 april 8 2018 megan m codera leave a comment we are so certain of our tastes our styles our manufactured identities defined by brands and politics by friends and how we choose to spend our time we are so certain of the things we don t like and half expect the rest of the world to care but all these things you choose or choose not to choose won t make much of a difference to anyone tomorrow some of the bumper stickers you flashed in your twenties have faded in this hesitation and resistance to be defined by anyone you find yourself more selective on how you share with your children with your friends of all the images she chose a rose pale and spotted with rain or dew though i don t really care for roses i took her offering with grace i looked again at the pale rose open petals above thick leaves in black and white i considered the rose as a flavor component of infused teas and jams and i found a recipe with raspberries for us to try in the summer megan m codera like loading transition april 4 2018 april 4 2018 megan m codera leave a comment barren gnarled alder groves laden with lichen rooted in the tangled remains of winter so pale and dismal against the chalk white sky waiting and waiting for a change in the light for some kind of alternate definition megan m codera like loading april 3 2018 april 4 2018 megan m codera leave a comment morning door opens to the sound of rain on leaves still too dark to see megan m codera like loading no matter how you cut it april 2 2018 april 3 2018 megan m codera leave a comment i run cold water when i slice an onion i don t know what it is with me and onions but the burn pierces much deeper than necessary much more than i care to explain you may insist on soaking or freezing an onion before slicing you may insist that you would never let an onion break you but this onion is so smooth and crisp she knows it will be pungent she holds her breath even though she can already feel the fumes brushing her eyes she blinks hard and turns away for a moment before continuing to slice she takes off her glasses and rubs her palms on her eyes pressing too hard but it s too late she puts down the knife lays her hands flat on the counter and braces herself against the waves megan m codera like loading testing april 1 2018 april 3 2018 megan m codera leave a comment i took us to places where it was difficult to hear each other over the wind over the waves i took us to places where it was difficult to see each other hands wiping the hair and the mist from our faces i read a review of one place so close to the shore that the waves were too loud for conversation take us to that place where we can t speak without being interrupted by the weather where we can t speak of anything more than what we gather at our feet agates and abandoned shells of moon snails small stones with faces line them up along a crooked piece of driftwood then walk out along the shore to scan the water for creatures pointing to the faintest clearing in the clouds over the the olympics megan m codera like loading seizing the habit march 4 2018 january 27 2020 megan m codera leave a comment i wake before five most days i write every day even if it s only a few lines notes or seeds to feed more lines and larger pieces other days i work a full week and my evenings fill quickly with daily demands just like everyone else i try to split my weekends between words and family time it s no easy task there are so many days i would rather just play with the family or do nothing at all though even they have noticed i m much more pleasant if i have gotten in my daily word fix i am fortunate they support the time i spend with words i ve only had this steady momentum since last november but it s taken me far too long to seize this habit and i m not going to ease up now whatever your passion whatever your medium i encourage you to do the same find something to create or share every day notice things put them through pencils pens and paint take pictures these things will fuel your creations and if you choose to share maybe you will encourage others to do the same we all need this megan m codera like loading february 25 2018 march 5 2018 megan m codera leave a
