Haiku

by
Isabel Vincent

 


slow dancing in the kitchen
a moment
we all daydream of


drinks & laughs
i will replay tonight
a thousand times over


cold room
his body
my blanket


windows down
music blaring
Serotonin


i can finally relax
knowing nothing
is due at 11:59 pm


spring break
why do i feel guilty
for relaxing


windows down
short sleeves
I am happy again


elegant dress
stage makeup
I feel like a million bucks


dancing around the table
La Grange on the stereo
I will never forget


cupcake
I wonder what it will be
damn, another brother


dinner with grandma
ice cream for dessert
every time


following the nurse
down the hall
eyes facing forward
