Comfort is taking
a part the betamax with my father watching
and picking blackberries in the Seattle summer
it’s walking while listening to podcasts–somewhere near water
It’s plants after the rain, hot tea, and slow time
friends who get the joke and remember when
and sleeping in, and driving anywhere with music aimlessly
it’s the times we’ve shared, the life we’ve shared
how it grows between us, protecting, loving, inviting
It’s the softness of shared sleep, your predictable laugh
caused my a favorite show
A Life of Wonder
