honey

Why is she standing there at the edge of the shore with an old-fashioned gramophone?

Look at her red dress – isn’t that skirt simply adorable? The way each crease and wrinkle suggests a release at the end of a day spent cooped up inside, squirming and wriggling on a hard school chair when she should have been out here dancing by the lake.

Has she danced herself out until she’s ready to stand gazing at the far shore and watch the sun descending though winter clouds, her arm around someone, that imaginary someone who will appear one day, as long as she believes and keeps on believing no matter what.

When that day comes honey will pack up her gramophone and they’ll quickstep away into the winter sunset.
