I tap my fingers, slow and rhythmic, against the empty page of my notebook. I watched my hand move my pencil backwards and up, line after line. Each letter traced over with the lead tip vanished from the page until I found myself here. My hand is unoccupied. My HB pencil evaporated into a thin… Continue reading Unwritten

I miss coffee dates at the coffee shop
The cafรฉ isnโt frightfully busy. It is just busy enough that there is a soft hum of conversation around me that mixes with the faint sound of music.

Dear cup of coffeeโฆ
This morning I say: Hello Chestnut Prailine Latte. You are the perfect blend of sweet nuttiness. You flow over my taste buds smooth and creamy.
