Zoe's house

Zoe has a cupboard
full of little things she collects
she says she knows they are odd
but she cannot let go of them

i wonder about her eyes
i wonder about the way she sees the world
i wonder about her colours, her thoughts
the way she defines beauty
i dont know the words to ask
so i just smile and wonder

she has two cats
two guitars
a banjo
drums
and a piano

there are colourful crochet blankets around the house
and a yellow and blue bathroom.

Zoe is so natural. She is very beautiful.
It is the kind of beautiful I am drawn to
with the full force of my heart.

Zoe has freckly skin
Zoe has beautiful arms
Zoe is slender and soft and graceful.

we drink tea, eat avocados
and she listens to me blabber on about life philosophies
because i want to engage with her
and that is the only way i know how.

she says
when there is open space
the opportunities are amazing.
