Pawn

I smiled today, a deep smile that started in my toes, twisted and curled its way upwards through my body, expanded in my chest and flushed my cheeks, I looked strangers in the eyes and let myself beam at them. Union Square was awash with sunlight, with summery warmth and rows of faces, the farmer's market buzzing with traffic. Spring ran like a mad hatter inside me and the giggle lasted all day.

It returns
It returns
You'll remember 
soon
what it is 
to live.
