approach gently

the sun shines in through these mahogany blinds -- i squint to see
but that's how i usually look at the world. don't ask me why.

2 days until i see my brothers... until i see my family, our cat and dog
and then
13 days until i see my boyfriend...

today is a bright-sing-out-loud kinda' day -- not just any song -- a joyous, from the bottom of my soul song

[teach me some melodious sonnet
sung from flaming tongues above]

there's something about warm sunshine through windows on cold days --
and sweat pants days at home. i'm comfortable today -- and it's been a long time coming.
