The Calm Before the Storm


9/25

Here we wait in between execution and event, a moment, an instant, a single deep breath.

Outside there’s a hurricane well on its way, it is likely this will be the only quiet moment today

A full night of cleaning and cooking and prep, completely exhausted and we haven’t started yet

All this effort for a party she’ll never remember, to celebrate one to another September

This memory of consciousness isn’t the only thing, and she knows without knowing the joy that love brings
