Happy Remarks

What was on the wall that day.

My partner makes my tea exactly how I like it.

The way fog moves down a hillside in the morning.

The smell of cedar. The whole walk smelled like a chest opened up.

My grandmother's recipe for chicken and dumplings. She never wrote it down. I'm afraid of forgetting.

My sister tells me when my hair looks bad. I count that as love.

My first concert. I was fourteen. I wore a denim jacket. I remember every song.

My mother saves the cardinal feathers she finds for me.

My partner did the dishes even though it was my turn. I had a bad day.

The way fresh bread sounds when you tear it.

My breath fogs the glass when the bus comes.

I have parents who still call to check the weather.

Grateful for the cook who lets me sit at the counter even when I only want a glass of water and the company.
