Lucid, Effortless, Clear Simplicity.

Bittersweet complications, this is what you're like.

Simplicity is my only craving right now. Lucid, effortless, clear simplicity. Purified water in a brilliant glass.

I miss the absence of days like that. Pink frosting between graham crackers, late movies with Mother, chalking sidewalks, pressing my wet body into hot, summer asphalt, scraping my shins on cherry branches. I'm entangled in complex strings, weighed down by the pressure of it all. Regardless of unraveled seams, I'm smiling. I'm happy, you know? Candle night with the boys all over again.

We grew up old, we had to.  There are no children here never held so much truth. So it goes.

Heartstrings, connections, lavender avenues. I'm fading into the foreground once again, honeyed sun on bare shoulders.
Thank you, love. I wouldn't change a thing.

Happy winter.
