hello stranger.
i work & smile more than anything else.
& summer nights are leaving me soaked in sweet sweat with the smell of the lake on my skin.
& the sounds of hip-hop (real true hip-hop) are what makes my heart keep its tempo.
& my fingers are getting use to the fluid movements of the
present.
& ive tried to finish this one piece for weeks but im at a standstill.
& the tan lines running in all directions across my skin make me giggle before i step in the shower.
& driving barefoot with one foot tucked under my leg reminds me im alive.
& i probably pick up the phone 397 times a day with you on the tip of my tongue.
& i quickly remember i have nothing to say.
& maybe i pray its you when its 12:52am and my phone rings, but i let the forced apathy fill the void.
& i let the countdown of weeks until freedom flow from a pen onto a rejected canvas.
& im finally comfortable in my own skin.
& i am still at a loss for words.
& my desire to nurture and care for others is increasing by the moment.
& i recognize the last month and the next month represent the beginning and the end of a new life.
& i cant help but be in love with everything i see.
