Writing

The stillness,

before the clouds collide and

the thunder and lightening starts.

The moment where the city 

seems to stop all its bustling

just before a storm.

The couple of seconds that

There's a rope swing

all the way back in the woods.

I forgot it was there.

I took you there,

do you remember?

Yesterday we read quotes my mother kept from when my sister and I were little.

The car spun 3 times

before crashing into the barricade.

Our car.

We were okay, me and my family.

We were unscathed.

Thank goodness.

It was all a blur.

It might as well have been a dream.

severus snape knew what always meant

he knew the weight of it

he understood it

"after all this time?"

"always."

always

something so powerful

with such weight

so profound

the road turns slow past the fields

stone crackles under the tires like a voice i forgot i missed

i lean forward in my seat holding my breath

because there you are

just past the trees

We didn't know the guy 

in the truck 

who's that guy? 

my sister asked, 

and I wondered if city people 

expected to know everyone 

they saw around town.
