I wake up
stretch & yawn
out tumble vague memories of dreams
stretch & yawn
out tumble vague memories of dreams
I pull on a sweatshirt
and the smell of last night's fire fill s my nose
the faint scent of community hangs in the air
and the smell of last night's fire fill s my nose
the faint scent of community hangs in the air
My chest holds space for unthinkable beauty
eyes overflow when it boils over
eyes overflow when it boils over
Shoulders carry the boulders of anxiety, uncertainty
toes tap moments of impatience
knees lock when feer presses in
toes tap moments of impatience
knees lock when feer presses in
Hands hold photos, grainy nostalgia
waves sweep through this home
waves sweep through this home
Ribs cradle the heart as it dances to the rhythms
of memories as fresh as spring
of memories as fresh as spring
– THE ANATOMY OF MEMORIES
