Charmeuse

Instead of flowers bring her rare books.

once upon a feeling i met you

it’s not me, it’s the sea

in my happy place

‘I need the sea because it teaches me’ Pablo Neruda

and still, we touch one another

you can always survive yourself, you are the sun

as i get older, nice weather is really something precious, something to enjoy, and something to talk about. like yes, this is a big deal. this sun, this light breeze. this is big.

you felt it too: the pause, the pull, the sense that everything made more sense beside me.

Have a nice fresh serving of perspective with your coffee this morning

Every echo has a beginning

wild and soft and true

at my wildest listening to soft waves crushing and my eyes drinking all the blue

I want to swim in a river of light

we keep on loving and everything else keeps on being fucked up

observing the entire world around me but only absorbing what calms me

at times, the loving of family is exhausting no matter how good it is

The sky has developed a dark foreboding and it reminds me of your eyes

The stranded family
