CaliforniaThe cool comforter wraps around you like the quiet tide / mingling with the scent of freshly cut eucalyptus hanging in the shower its fragrance drifting through the house like a memory unwilling to fade / The white weathered wood raw and splintered with age creaks beneath your feet shaking the whole house as you walk

2 dollarsmnyamata, / I'm sitting here, face sticky from dried tears, face aching from smiling so hard, staring at the beautiful 2 dollar earrings you bought me at a garage sale today. They were the first things I saw when I walked in and I eyed them and mentioned that I liked them and you just pulled out your wallet and refused to put it back when I kept asking you to. They're cheap, not real diamonds, but I think they're beautiful and I'm glad you didn't listen to me when I told you not to buy them. / Driving home tonight, I was the happiest I've ever been in my life. I felt like a freak, grabbing your arm and shirt and face and smiling until my cheeks started shaking. I am 16 and you are 17 and I am 99 percent positive that I will be marrying you. I am too painfully in love with you to ever recover, so you're stuck with me.

HumMy great great grand mother / used to hum / when she made coffee

The Shifting CityIn the Second‑Hand District, air smells of varnish and old vellum, / streets hum with salvagers of the almost‑lost. / A woman nests mirror shards in a fountain,

MaturityEvery moment is precious__ / even the maddening, mundane and superfluous. / The torment, ghoolly, grief-stricken and disastrous__

tiersso. / hp has "tiers" of poets now. / still not sure i completely understand
