Yellow flashes flicker like the stars BILLIONS of years away as our hungry eyes,

with pupils round,

scan for the next moment of GLOW.

Acoustic vibrations lull us to sleep.

I feel your presence above as the knots in the wood make shapes that merge into dreams.

“You can close your eyes…. it’s alright.”

Sticky summer days capture us in Kairos.

Emerging from chlorine water worlds,

our tastebuds tingle at the very thought of the next Airhead (or Jolly Rancher).

Christmas, Charlevoix, getting to watch a move during the day when there’s a meet,

the look from that boy (or that girl),

the sound of your voice on the phone.

These are the BEST butterflies.

From Victoria Secret variety to Pin Stripe to au naturel…

I breathe you in.

And I am hOMe.

It’s you.
