an invitation:
to surrender; to cede control; to taste;
to become bewildered; to play; to expand;
to be curious; to share; to broach your edges;
to scare yourself; to feel pleasure;
to find delight;
to touch the shadow, & to come back to yourself.
hi. i’m simone.
golden morning light washed over white sheets. the slow click of film advancing. a knife sliding through butter. a cat’s purr on your chest. horizon gazing. walking naked into the ocean. walking out, dried salt. jasmine blossoms, supple. petrichor. cold dirty martinis in warm candlelight, red rooms. the crunch of sourdough. la vie en rose, in the original french. the smell of used bookstores. handmade paper and hot wax seals.
