beautiful

when I got home from work I ate a small Friendly’s ice cream cake sundae, a bunch of roasted almonds, a small milky way bar, a cup of tea followed by dinner: half of a meatball sub. Not so very healthy - but delicious. And a lot. hah. 

my sister just walked in on me brushing my teeth on the futon in the kitchen while reading my book of French poems, she laughed and said: WHAT ARE YOU DOING. 

I’m a weird-o. 

Thought heavy with sleep blinking
Light memories like curls on a forehead
Nights of sleep without waking in a bed too deep
Efforts put off until tomorrow
Smile of the sky sliding in the hand
But above all homesickness for that solitude
O closed heart O heavy heart O deep heart
You will never get used to sorrow

I want to go to the grand canyon

BOSTON in the rain and in the fog without an umbrella with little shoes that hurt and wet tights next to the harbor next to the best person was the best way to start today. Little things like sitting on a wet bench watching boats and the planes across the harbor take off or land completely alone not really talking much knowing one of us is moving back to a bigger city for good knowing we’ll both board planes soon to go far away knowing he won’t be here but he’ll visit, I’ll visit  - it’ll take a while it’ll take something bigger to truly separate us
