“The house was quiet and the night was calm”

hide and go seek in her greenhouse
pots of iris and gladiola bulbs
the air was thick and rich
with the scent of dirt

the stillness is palpable
as a snowstorm approaches
I feel the same excitement
as when I was young

I prefer the messiness of real life
