mostly thankful fully okay with my today even a little hope for tomorrow the sun’s touch turns my head up with its warm hand beneath my chin turning my face away from the present drawing close to say it’ll be okay for the first time in awhile there’s enough relief to keep my eyes dry
the light sends a calming fire across my skin inviting me outside i lift my hand to find the glass that keeps me back i’m stuck with half-sides inside and outside
window seats do this to me they’re indecisive letting me believe i feel the breeze i hear the birds as they fly overhead and swoop down to rest within the branches leaves flustered by their wings i share an inhale with the tree
and then i exhale i’m not experiencing any of this instead it’s a muted life in silence it all passes by the window seat of this little coffee shop
