Just a Girl

me lol
If I’d been on my phone
I would’ve missed it:
my favorite movie, the open sky
fall’s first blue
breaking into night
where the traveling birds
and ripples of moving water
get their well deserved screen time
the song of the wind makes the score
with death-wish leaves as a backdrop
pink puffs of even so standing flowers
latte milk dogs with peach tongues
and the kiss of cold on exposed clavicle
just as the happy montage begins to play
a dotted whirlpool cloud floats onto the screen
the accumulation of everything, tossed up into the sky
a frisbee for the gods
onto the eared box, into my favorite movie
have you seen it?
the one with geometrical water bugs
and babies in baby helmets
riding on long yellow bikes
with their wide open mouths and eyes
teens with cat scratched ankles and thighs
empty sunscreen bottles and clouds
clouds and resolution
a jet zips by, leaving its fuzzy string of pearls
we watch the closing credits
before it’s time to head inside
and check what’s on the telly
;)
Graceland Too - Phoebe Bridgers
My favorite lyrics from Graceland Too:
So we spent what was left of our serotonin
To chew on our cheeks and stare at the moon
Said she knows she lived through it to get to this moment
happy fall!
I missed the show, being a sloth on the couch! Glad you could recount it for us! 🩵
What a lovely, happy picture you painted for us! Thank you. We missed you too.
