The Lethargy of Fog

By Joseph M. Lopez

This is a follow up to my debut book, Sounds Unheard Songs of Home.

We write to build. To rebuild. To forgive others. To give the same to ourselves. We write of
longing, and languishing. Of love. And regret. Of easy days. And jobs that are not. Of pink
haired old ladies at the grocery store. Of hope. Sometimes. If she isn't dead. Of pulling off our
flesh, and sounding ourselves loud. Of birds that sing in broken song, and coyotes tasting
marrow from our bones. Of the skin of us. And scars that hold. Of a lake that
owns us. In which we could drown. Of her persistence. And our own.
Of the things we carry. And the space we hold.
Of snow in August, under bare feet. Of the rise and fall of indifference. And of something in
between. Of yellow fucking tomatoes. Simply because they exist. And how we stand in July.
In grays and blues. Wet with rain. Warm, and barefooted. Steady and slow.
This is a story of coming home.
