Re-reading Childhood Diaries, Tear-Stained Pages
She stands in the doorway, half in shadow, soft curls framing her face, an oversized beige sweater swallowing her hands. Beyond her, the park glistens post-rain, a lone lamp burning amber, a bench waiting for nobody.

Passionate Stillness

She does not perform this feeling; she simply lets the Weathered doorway opening onto a post-rain park, lone lamp, midnight hold it for a while. Midnight with warm sodium streetlamp light on wet streets softens every edge, and the Oversized beige sweater and jeans, soft curls framing the face seems chosen for exactly this weather of the heart — unhurried, unguarded, entirely hers.
