she misses
foggy mornings,
the sweet, sweet
salted, sticky air
&
taking the longer way to a home filled with love,
despite the trouble of tourists
for the peace found by prayer on the strand
or
the simple magic of toes in the sand
&
taking the longest way to work a job she thoroughly enjoyed
despite definitely, maybe, but probably running
late,
late,
late
.
genuinely,
most especially,
she longs for
just how easily it was to love
&
mostly just how swiftly
she grew to love
&
how deeply
she truly loves
that sweet, sticky sand
that had evermore
became the glitter that adorned her life
by the bay
