Simple things, like a slow start to a late morning Like listening to old disco waft over the scent of Arabic roasts The slight insistence of last night's indulgence not quite crawling across my brain Like watching my capering daughter with her joy in a small rainbow umbrella Small hands wanting to help with tasks only a little too large The company of bright minds in Similar states of satiation Full of the richness of hollandaise, eggs, the sharp oiled smoke of salmon Simple things like hi-fiving as we collapse on the sofa, space cleansed, evening sun sprawled a crossed the wall Golden Berlin sunset calling a riot of houseplants into soft violet contrast, shadows long Simple like the way the sun catches your profile, and my breath catches in my throat.. Simple things

Simplicity
Simple things, like a slow start to a late morning Like listening to old disco waft over the scent of Arabic roasts The slight insistence of last night's indulgence not quite crawling across my brain Like watching my capering daughter with her joy in a small rainbow umbrella Small hands wanting to help with tasks only a little too large The company of bright minds in Similar states of satiation Full of the richness of hollandaise, eggs, the sharp oiled smoke of salmon Simple things like hi-fiving as we collapse on the sofa, space cleansed, evening sun sprawled a crossed the wall Golden Berlin sunset calling a riot of houseplants into soft violet contrast, shadows long Simple like the way the sun catches your profile, and my breath catches in my throat.. Simple things
