Dogwood Blooms

 

Why did he kiss her so often on her lips?

The sun hit her eyes, a bright spring afternoon hiding behind a sky scattered with a flow of clouds. The bees buzzed and the dogwoods bloom. 

Absorb.

The Clock Strikes

 

All that being said…

What do you think?

Wonder and Awe

She opened the old bread book her mother had taken with her in 1974, all the way to the concrete block towering home, Building one, Apartment one.

She took the eggs from the carton, one, two, slippery fingers one falls, and cracks on the kitchen floor, the clear liquid seeps towards her feet, then the orange follows. She grabs another egg, grateful to have what she needs on hand. 

Everything heated to the proper temperatures.

RainFall

Be still and listen 

One day I will tell you a story

Cracker jacks

A turn of the corner and the doors down do bare.
