back/flash
leaning into a
heart-hammering embrace
feel good hit of
the summer
tickling an eager
ear from lips
like sugar
a girl puts on a record
to
remember

You know how now and then you catch a face in a crowd and
the sight causes your memory to rewind, flash-back to the most obscure long-gone
moments? And so, this poem.
The May long weekend, for me, begins at 4pm. I took an
extra day off, tomorrow (Friday), to get in extra quality time with Chelsey and
Ayla Grace before the pack up and head west. There is a plan for a quiet
adventure and outdoor activity with my best bud and her kiddies on Saturday and
then the rest of the weekend I plan to read, write, relax, hang with my Mama
and my cat. In jams. For days. Well, two! I welcome the break from my routine
to regroup and start afresh.
In other news, I submitted more work to a magazine today. Pluggin' away at my craft.

However you spend yours, I hope it’s marvelous!

YES! Is this why I'm streaming 70s and 80s? Nostalgia is big with me right now. Every tune is a memory. Some long forgotten, some best forgotten, every one a treasure from my past.
ReplyDeleteThis is one better left forgotten but fit nicely into a little poem.
DeleteThen I'm glad you remembered it, lol.
