WORKING TITLE: Lake Andrew (You Are All Around Me)
Date: August 2, 2026
Location: Lake Andrew, New London, MN
I didn’t know my tears would mingle
with your waters.
Ripples on the surface at sunrise.
Memories lapping gently with your waves
for the first time in fifteen years.
But the ghosts aren’t haunting here –
They are dancing
laughing
singing
loving.
And for the first time in fifteen years
I feel like the girl
who lived her summers
in your waters.

with no clear beginning or ending
just a middle
untended, unintended,
unfinished, hanging there
like the breath before a question”

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
