May Days

Away from the computer I :

❧
survived a Belphégor marathon
and walked back home
in the wee hours
through the woods,
ready to defend myself
with my x acto knife
but met nobody

❧
got together with my best friend
on one of her most important day ever

❧
looked for a ghost in a museum
but did not find it

❧
picked up cherries,
made cherry jam and clafoutis

❧
played sicilian card games
with my mother
for hours

❧
sewed my first bedroom curtains
I am smitten
and could look at them
forever

❧
cried buckets
watching tv series
and a beautiful film
I am such a sissy

❧
got lost in the woods
chased by butterflies
fell hard in an abandoned meadow

❧
made hairclips and pins,
more of that soon
...
