Holiday Thingamabobs!(decor!) ["Fifth Day of Christmas"]

Sorry it's a day late! Won't happen again; promise! xoxo

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: five golden rings, four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree!

Domenica | a poem

  Venice is paradise in summer: Lovers lay in gondolas under a lemon sun, sprawling on top of embroidered pillows and celestial dreams. Stress undresses itself on the boardwalk, leaving nothing but relaxed Venetians, who know better than to mask nature’s path. Domenica Rosa, you were there once, weren’t you? As a child, perhaps, exploring the damp stones with your violet eyes and young bones. And were you delighted?

Socks | poem

For our birthdays, we exchanged socks like promises: I’ll protect you if you protect me . But we hated confinement, so often, we shed our socks and raced through hallways, puddles, rivers — more than common ground. We broke free of simplicity—spilled over walls like nail polish, screamed like firing guns, and ate our fill of rainclouds. For your birthday, I wear your socks, slip, fall, and think: I’ll get up for you if you get up for me.
