needs

chocolate

rhythmic music
on repeat

coffee

gentleness

a good look
at sun and moon
every day and night

a place to sit
quietly with just
enough light,
surrounded by
favorite writing
instruments.

long moments

to stare at a
blank page

replaying all the
histories lived,
forgotten, longed after,
regretted

entertaining visions
of near and distant
futures

learning how to
stretch fingers
and courage
far enough

to share
pieces of everything

to share

to connect

to know that
you and i
are here.
