ambrosian oatmeal settles on my tongue, and for a minute moment, honeycomb and cinnamon distract me

from the sunbeam reflecting against exposed skin. a songbird hums a melody that challenges melancholy and i remind myself

to take my sticky sweet time. the month is june and summertime is abloom but i am not in tune. light aurifies everything

around me and i feel so humanly empty. the crimson brick demolition is a work of nonfiction — each layer wrapped up in premonitions.

i sip on amber coffee and step away from the window. i’m trudging through a season like a neverending lull and

i hope i hope i hope someday i catch a glimpse of a soul allowed to be whole; to feel full.
