Things that don't suck

 Things that don't suck


Water and lemon,
yes,
just water and lemon.
Saturday mornings devoid of alarms.
Saturday nights alone with no plan. Numbers that make my doctors smile.
Numbers that matter in control,
well in line.

Her perfume. Her laughter. Her all.
Number 7. Number 3.
Windy winters by the lagoon.
Rainy naps and bus rides sitting. 
New books in my bag.
New lines in my mind.
Poems by women. By Rupi. By Gioconda.
By my dear students.
By Maya. By my daughter.

Heavy secrets let loose.
Bs As coffee shops.
Chaotic book cases.
Bulgy baby-carrying bellies.
Hot mate. Icy lemonade.
Small flowery gardens.
Mint chewing gums.
Unexpected hugs.
Words and more words that rhyme.

Old trunks. Indoor swings.
Colourful spectacles. Loose light dresses. Unplanned gatherings. Films set in NY. Fresh flowers in a pot.
Photographs. Taking photographs.
Storing pictures, sheltering moments.
Remembering. Remembering.


Recycled furniture. Comfy shoes.
Nard-smelling candles.
Open-air markets.
Hand-me-down clothes.
Argentine rock.
Grey sofas. Blue doors. Yellow windows. Chocolate bars.
Stony tree-roofed streets.
Noisy playgrounds.
Teachers that care and learn non-stop.
Classes with rhythm,
Classes that rock.

Sweet memories.
Hopeful dreams.
Lively nows.

One more now.

One more sip.

One more day here.

One more chance.

One more scene.
