Mindy Wilson Photography

She is an idealist. The bubbles burst, her dreams remain.

She ties her hair in a ponytail, then when she runs it swishes like prairie grass before a storm.

The alley is a grand boulevard that trails through her imagination. Its dirt and splinters are a hundred year hedge of thorns that protect her from witches, and boys, and other annoyances.

Her bubbles flip the world. They’ll barely drift before they kiss the splinters, but while they surround her they flip the world.
