Challenge
Camera Roll
Go into your camera roll and find the last real photo you took. (not one of a grocery list, or other paper.) And use it as inspiration for this challenge. Is there a person? Make the main character of their likeness. Is there in interesting car in the background? Who owns it?

poetry from the dining hall / an ode to my temporary housing
woken by the chill
autumn breathes on my neck,
a lover arriving just in time
prepare silently for the day,
feet on dusty hardwood
our big, empty house
is quiet and cold
I have let myself get distracted
by the loudness of it all
up late the night before,
reveling in the warmth of lamplight
imagine my roommate
warm and asleep
behind her closed door
leave the key on the railing
shut the door behind
off to live my life
but I pause
to watch the fog gathered low
clinging to the mountains
like ceran wrap left by a stranger
in our cabinets
breathe shallow,
breathe it in
the first gray day
I will never have it back
can only cradle
my gilded memories
