I’m not sure if it’s this time of year but I find strange things in my pockets these days: sand, shells, odd bits of string … objects, like
memories, seem to accumulate in odd places …
THOSE HIDDEN
smooth as
tide-tumbled stones
made sticky as
hoarded candy
generosities melt
while white lies cling
I pull at dregs
nurturing the warmth
of each privacy
holding seams so no one
can decipher
my concealments

Happens especially when traveling like I do right now, but I do not express that so beautifully; hoping you are having a good time and are well 😉
