silk and anger

On a hot summer's day, I have brunch in the shade on the balcony, clad in buttercup yellow silk. Staring at the sea, talking to the neighbour's cat who is tight-rope walking between balconies.

I walk to the island of my dreams. Through fragrant woods full of birdsong, past beaches teeming with the playful and the sun-worshippers, along abandoned railroad tracks smelling of hot steel.

There was a lot of anger and bitterness in me. It melts away somewhere among all this.
