I confess I am beat up, not so proud, not so smart as I once was, quite shredded from those years of rushing toward danger, trying to see how I match up against things much bigger. I know how to love and be loved. That is enough. I found my place in the world. #katyamills

work is good
I got off my shift and you just started yours
sleeves rolled up we exchange uplifting words
we are workers. we make our freedom! this is how we live

sweet from bitter
it took me all of 10 years
to unlock the secrets within
the green cabbage
now she tastes sweet
and i can kick up
my feet

Yosemite in May
the lady at Chinese Camp
dressed in a floral pattern
warned us the mad river
had escaped. Highway 120
was impassable
we would have to travel
south on 140 to Mariposa
we bought an Indian blanket
and fed the chickens to
thank her for her kindness

Sonora, CA
we had our final meal of the day
i ordered a burger that was not a burger
combination long drive and hike. Yosemite
we planned to get up before dawn but
it was impossible. i popped a Tylenol
and we slept in

the day you disappeared
we came upon a mountain
whose face blocked the entire sun
you hiked up the slippery rocks
to where the tremendous waterfall
landed. i followed you
far as i could into the mist
it all happened so fast!
i shouted after you. my clothes
soaked through i lashed myself
to a beech tree there no longer
able to see or hear this is
how you disappear
