2020

January 3, 2021.Reading time 6 minutes.

I painted the year in gold
Called it the best one yet
And laughed at the irony of it.

Gifts.

We accept the love we think, is love.

Other things.

I imagine I really did love you
But in a way that said
This is all I know how to do right now

Post-Social Interactions.

I’ll go for another walk.

April 5, 2020.Reading time 3 minutes.

Kids colour hearts and rainbows and paste them in the windows
A little girl waves at me from behind the glass as I walk by
She points to the heart she’s just taped, I wave back, smiling

Freedom.

7 years of searching. I’ve come full circle now.

If they could talk.

Quarantine never really made it into our vocabulary before
We still haven’t familiarized ourselves with its definition.

A forced stop.

What to expect.

March 14, 2020.Reading time 6 minutes.

Well, we’re on the back and forth path.
Two steps forward
Three steps back.

Love, Ashley.
