a worn in romance Solace

a worn in romance // Melania St. Cyr this soul has always belonged by the seaside in crocheted cottages of preppy pilgrims varicose vineyard vacations this heart has always belonged to suburban shingled sorrows cold feet frosts following feather down paths this body has always belonged on cobblestone crosswalks past crisp fall foliage Tuesday trolleys through backstreets of Boston

I have always belonged in Massachusetts or

I have brought myself to believe in the romantic rendition of it all

this brain has believed it always belongs in Massachusetts and there it will always

return.

Solace // Denise Lewis
