{ how it is }

this is how it's been lately:

worn-in jeans (is there anything better? for your legs, i mean)

mulberry velvet flats (every bit as wonderful as they sound)

purple fingernails (what else is new)

starbucks (i know, it's cliche, i've stopped judging myself)

the melancholy early-evening light of fall

i'm off into the city wild this weekend

for jazz

for friends

for powerful drinks in fancy cups

for the sound of high heels on the streets

for remembrance and escape.

i hope the next few days hold something

as equally raucous and poignant

for you.
