The perfectly timed brownie.

Laurence baked me a brownie.  Said it was a well done for walking 16 miles.  Asked me over for an indian with his fam, casual like. Opened the door to a gooey smell. Had been thinking some bad thoughts. I’m not anymore.

The first rehearsal - best foot forward.

I’m drinking hot coffee out of a mug, wrapped up in my duvet. I’ve toasted 3 pitta breads and I’m going to put marmalade in them, and wrap them in tin foil.  This time next month I will be in a rhythm of walking, looking at new places, keeping calm when getting lost, and meeting new lovely people. All I will have to do all day is put one foot in front of the other, decide what to have for lunch, take photos and write postcards. Today I’m going to walk to Brundall and back, which is approximately 15 miles. Its the first test walk I’ve done. Whilst I’m really looking forward to it, and know that I will be able to do it, I’m also very nervous. I’m the heaviest I have been in my life and I think the potential problems that may pose are weighing on my mind. Each time I get a bit twingy in the stomach department I think of all of the reasons I’m doing this, and they give me a boost.  “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Let's

Say I Said Let's Go.

[5000letters]

I sit in front of maps and measure with my fingertips the distance between us. In this space, I tell the ocean to make itself smaller, we argue. I tell it please, I am in love, and it allows me to palm it in my hand and hold it tightly there. I wish the roads away. I grab the forests by the handful and plant them elsewhere, plant them in our backyard ten years from now. Like this, I slowly make the spaces between us smaller until I can walk across them. I take the ground by its edges and pull it until it’s gathered like a rug beneath my feet. I bundle the sky under my arms and don’t mind that the clouds are raining on my feet. I can walk the inches to your door and knock the wood and see you standing there in all your shocked silence. The question of the sky and the ground and the oceans all piled up around me. I can say ‘hello, look, it’s me, I love you, I’ve brought the entire earth for you.’

“I got thinking about the window seat: how special it is and how it can be taken for granted. These expansive views can be very humbling. Everyone is fascinated by flight, and for now airplaines are how we get to experience it. At some point on each flight I’ve been on, I think about sitting in a chair in the sky, and it seems crazy every time.” - Jim Darling on his ‘Airplane Window’ series

Being Human

by Lewis Buxton

For Cadi

When we were still paid by the hour writing more order slips than poems I would text you on my way home at 2am.

You’d still be up, hands smelling of scarped plates, throat full of things you didn’t say to customers.

When home I watch the TV shows we spoke of when we first met let the credits lull me into tomorrow.

Before we sleep we assure each other that this won’t last much longer.

We’ll drink during the day, be human again.

“My husband is a dancer and a waiter. I’m an actor and a handyman. We can’t really afford to be following our passions at the same time, so we alternate. Right now it’s his turn. He’s putting on a dance production in North Carolina. So I’m painting a stoop.”
