July 16
Asleep by seven
Did I skip another day?
I’ll write tomorrow
July 17
Early in the day
I walked to the local park
To pick gooseberries
July 18
I glazed some cookies
Then turned the extra icing
Into a cocktail
July 19
Thunder woke me up
Rain turned the golden dawn light
To sodden silver
July 20
Dinner with best friends
Such a normal thing to do
And yet so strange
July 21
The clear summer air
Judging the humidity
How damp is the mask
July 22
Is it hot enough
In the humid early air
To ice the coffee?
July 23
Outside the window
Like a film in slow motion
The lilies open

Your haiku for the week is wonderful respite. Lunch with friends is the middle, centering position. So glad you were able to spend time with friends. My lilies are opening also 🙂
Finding these respites gets harder. Sometimes writing these little pieces of normality feels like spitting in the ocean. Pointless. I’m glad for evidence that they’re not.
Alexandra, they definitely are not pointless to me.
