A TASTE OF MY STORIES

Mrs. Hazleton's Window
Trisha’s house stands three doors away from mine. On my way there, I wonder what games we’ll play today. Trisha’s a year older than me and always ready with great ideas.
On her doorstep, I ring the doorbell. While waiting, I press my nose against the single sidelight to the left, making fog on the exhale.

Peace, Wilting
I’m sipping an almond milk latte seated outside Blue Bottle Coffee with an old friend who’s visiting. It’s a chilly morning, the kind that exists in the Bay Area despite seasonal expectations for June. We’re here for a bite— mindful to keep room for a heavier lunch later. It’s rare that I’m out for breakfast on a weekday, that too with company, so I’m savoring the moment.
