Week 17: The Door

On the other side of the door
it is probably raining.

The window nearby proves me right,
fogged by the soft humidity that often accompanies weather like this.


I bend to tie my running shoes anyway,
ready for the hills & the breathlessness
that will soon catch me off guard.

When I reach for the doorknob

 & hear you move in the next room,
back early from your own run,
I pause too long in the cold rush of air.

On the other side of that bathroom door,
it is probably colder.
I imagine you turn the water as hot as it will go,
so the steam that fills the air
catches on the mirror

not unlike a foggy window.

    What is the Alternate Project?

    The Alternate Project is the culmination of a three year artistic endeavor. Its predecessors, the 365 and 52 projects, focused on photography for one year and poetry for one year, respectively. The Alternate Project will cap the three-year period with a combination of poetry and photography, every single week, for the year 2015.
