the shadow I carry

sunburned strawberries. 
midnight toast with jam.
kisses in the kitchen, 
in the bathroom, 
on the stairs. 
highlights in my hair. 
curly blonde halo
snacking on cheerios.
slow songs on stereo.

it’s dark outside 
but there are bright spots 
if we look for them.
I’m looking.
I’m trying.
I swear that I am.
