Los Angeles 2022
Posted: November 6th, 2022, 10:50 am
My sister lives in Santa Monica
My dog of 13 years is here
The memories of a childhood creep in
Looking back on a place of sadness
The sea engulfing my soul
The pier where so many stuffed animals
And fortune tellers gathered around
The Ferris wheel
The way of happiness seemed to laugh
Your eyes
Follow me
You make me tremble
Los Angeles seems to take care of the important stuff
And the rest is over exposed
Like a film that is on going
The husband of my sister
Is a writer
Kind of
But when asked to read a screenplay
I feel like “ kill me now”
The teenagers are running the show here
Parents scrambling and struggling to understand the hormones
And autonomy’s questions to the spiritual
I am a fool
I am on the couch
Wishing for an out some that might never happen
But I had this moment to feel all the things a woman can feel
