It's been a week since I broke off with S.
Today I felt empty but I had a few moments that soothed me.
Bright white sunlight on my skin.
A crisp breeze through my loose hair.
Pink tulips that have turned serpentine as they start to wilt
No amount of cold water will save them now.
A toddler tapping on pipes at the playground
making noisy music.
Lunch with E at Fatoosh,
talking over hummus, muhammara, and warm pita.
The hum of speeding cars along Prospect Expressway.
Walking ahead of my thoughts...
