the quiet 

rush of warm breath

under the eucalyptus 

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

 rainy day pants

softly comfortable

the new normal

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

 The advice

of a misfortune cookie

take-out dinner

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

 Definitely

doughnuts and wine

essential items

~Sarah Mahina Calvwllo

 Monet's water lilies 

need some upkeep

thing's will get better

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

 Never apologize for

being a stiletto 

in a room full of flats

~Sarah Mahina Calvello 

~Suspension~

 In the night,

something furtive and secret

something that could have been

but the day

went by too soon

the cracks between

between the suspension

of dreams

the side

of the house

reflected

the orange blossoms

curl and wait

to unfurl again

the thick bread and butter

on the stove

brings excitement

cinnamon and raisins 

lighting up the night

togetherness,

safety 

somewhere in the circle

of the velvet quiet 

where we're heading,

there's just

no knowing

~Sarah Mahina Calvello
