Turtle.

The Turtle trip.
Why is this such a funny word?
I have some friends whose life connection started with this word.

Conversation from first love

Curled up in sleeping bags, in a tent by the coast.

Tell me something.
- You tell me something.
No, I don’t want to.
And I asked you first.

I tuck you in, kiss your cheek.

You didn’t tell me anything yet.
- Nor did you.
I asked you first.
- I asked you second.

It takes a lot to ask something you know.
- It takes a lot to answer, honestly and clearly.
- What do you want me to say?
Anything you think I might want to know.

The stars breathe quietly.

- Our hearts are very close together.
And our souls.

- I’m not sure I’m ready to say anything more than that.
That’s nice already.

Good night.

Stamping

Nostalgia. Today someone in the next office was using one of those manual stamps (for 'draft' marks). The sound drew me to memories of waiting at the library counter as a kid while the lady librarian fingered through my monster pile of books, to due-date them...
