my best friend from the US is here
which means that despite some unfortunate news:
(a job falling through, a nasty head cold)
everything is joyful anyway.
there are two people in my life i love
unconditionally and like
unconditionally:
my husband and her.
they’ve never met.
it’s so good to see them merge
and get along,
like my heart is all in one place at once.
the first day we walked around
the city.
the sun has been out for three days,
making it easy to marvel at
pristine buildings and picturesque parks.
we ate ice cream crepes and talked
boyfriend drama.
then we met up with friends
and sang karaoke.
i’m an alanis type of girl,
she went for george michael.
yesterday we spent the day in
recovery, hangovers, jet lag,
head colds.
by evening we were on a rooftop bar
celebrating a friend’s birthday
as the sun crept down over the city
and glasses of crisp white wine
were knocked back.
it’s an easy way to spend the days:
trying every second to find adventure
amongst people you feel brave with.
