JUNE

this is the kind of  day that I feel that way
that June way
 the weather, the air and the smell remind me of all the other Junes 
Junes have a way of being  so jammed with memories and  perfect moments
that I find myself a bit melancholy
they feel like endings 
I don't like endings
even happy ones
it feels like loss
could life just please slow down-not because it is too fast but because I love it so much
I want to savour it
it is  in June I realize how far we come
 in a year
 and all the things we have built into that (school) year
the triumphs, the disappointments, the frustration, the elation, the exhaustion, the learning, the friendships, the hard work
I love  the tempo so shrill and stuffed with everything 
and the patterns and the routines 
and the newness 
did you see what we could do?
 I don't want it to end

 my house is a place where so much noise and activity and good things happen
and then it is so silent  at  times 
the noise floods in like a tide and out again as quickly
so many shoes at the door
and then none
I can't figure out if I have done everything I meant to 
I hope I loved it completely 
while it was high tide
because it is magnificent
