i write my best work when i'm home

15 Jun, 2026

i write my best work when i'm home,

under the canopy of a familiar palm tree stretching its leaves out to me,

in the gentle caress of a warm, wrinkled hand cradling my cheek.

here is where my mind is ever-giving, an endless spout of glittery, multi-coloured creativity; where dreams larger than life feel somehow reachable.

i reach and jump now, wishing the tide would carry me there. wishing i could jump into a bottle as if i were a simple letter, and send myself rocking all alone into the great sea.
