Softness Breaks Quietly
you’re breakfast in bed
takeout when it’s raining
jumping over cracks in the sidewalk
lying on fresh laundry after a shower
skipping down an empty street
but
we fall
you tear out a page and
leave it with me
you smile with your eyes and
hesitantly touch
don’t start without me!
but
you
were
almost
done
and
I
knew
it
too
To Avoid

Howl’s Moving Castle
Percy Jackson show
The Lorax
-always-
The Magic Forest
HyperSpace Los Altos
Redwood Shores Library
Road trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium
to see the octopus that could’ve remembered us
Organize the polaroids
