I am coming out into the open of the world again
I can feel the sun on my back
I open my mouth and taste life in the cold air and on each and every one of my salivary glands
quick short breaths in a tube top and sandals
my favourite pink g-string peeking out
bangs for the first time since undergrad
walking down bloor street and smiling as the streetcar rumbles the earth,
as the crazy man yells about the end of times
a flock of pigeons erupting from the sidewalk
petunias budding from balcony gardens
17 unanswered emails in my inbox
tiktok tarot videos to scroll by
new song come soon new moon late bloom
shadows dancing on the walk home
I am in the world again
