You would often say,” I want to go by the water.” The salty smell and temperamental waves brought you peace eventually became your sanctuary. You loved how the deep blues and somber grays mimicking the rich clouds in the sky. As you watched the fishes…

Socks soaked, again Nose crinkles with fury one more fucking thing. How many times? Too many, too close. Not spite, loss of control. Worse than we thought. Sticky paws, wet fur, plaintive meows gone unnoticed for how long? The vet’s not far, And she’s been…

An Ideal Day Lazy, sound of silence Maybe the song of birds outside, Safe and cozy covers surrounding us, As we smile at the lack of anywhere to be. Later, immersing ourselves in stories, laughter, Comforting cups of tea and sandwiches, Curled up together As…
