fragments

 

 

of an intended life
whispered to an absent lover

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter:  “Magnolias”

 

 

We sit on a blanket I’ve brought to spread over the grass.  At one corner, a precarious wine bottle:  an improvised vase for the sunflower.

 

 

We write, then exchange notebooks.

We share so much your words become my own.

 

 

Tickling, a ladybug crosses my thigh.  (You laugh:  It travels where you want to be.)

Such peace here, in this extended moment.

The magnolias are in bloom.
