spill
summer in your house
the morning light poured in
spilling on the chenille
like warm milk
dishes clattering in the kitchen
as you made breakfast
ripening
the heat stifles
flowers wilt
fruit ripens
(as do I)
August is approaching
imperfect and alive
“Imperfection inspires invention, imagination, creativity.
It stimulates.
The more I feel imperfect, the more I feel alive.”
~ Jhumpa Lahiri
fear and love
“There is something here that frightens me.
When I figure out what it is that frightens me, I shall also know what I love here.”
~ Clarise Lispector
