Day 2
she walked into the room
like a dare
neck wrapped
in red pashmina
what does it all mean?
she asked
looking me in the eye
a rumour of a smile
pulled the corners
not expecting the words
to leave my own lips
after taking a deep
and measured breath “Love is everything”
another breath
“The universe knows what to do”
I finished with a smile
“and pie is good”
Still smiling
I woke up
shared the message
over coffee
and let it rest
like a bird on my shoulder
pie is good
especially
at breakfast time
true story.
