it will work out
somehow

Didn't have the energy and mindspace to write a lot, but here is a little tanka about me finding some hope in our garden.

A frail hepatica
Shyly holds its fragrance
Beneath the fresh morning dew.
So, Elizabeth.
Just... wow. Who is Elizabeth?! This feels incredibly intimate and touching.

we twirl and spin,
You lead with questions,
I follow in.
Together we glide,
in harmony's trance,
As friends
in this dance.

we find our home,
With love so deep,
like ocean's foam.
You've made us your world,
a treasure unfurled,
A husband, a father,
our heart's precious pearl.

Travelling to Berlin
for a concert . . .
I fiddle
with a heavy, textured silver ring.
In the buzzing highspeed train,
my friend wonders aloud
about my husband's trust
in my fidelity . . .

But back then,
the bonbon my grandpa may have given me
or was it in an ad—
The softest Alpaca yarn
already packed away inside my suitcase,
side by side with coffee beans . . .
a selfmade love.

heart breaking goodbye,
Courage in each step,
under the open sky.
A path is chosen,
with a journey to embrace,
Walking away,
with dignity and grace.
