Anticipation
face against the glass,
snow against the skin —
five minutes early
I see you shiver with…
Rocky Horror references aside, I like the excitement that comes with being early for something. Even if it’s something as small as being a little too early for the grocery store or being the first museum visitor of the day, I enjoy anticipation in all its forms.
Also, we obviously don’t get a lot of snow up in Queensland but snow has a certain emotional weight to it, a certain sensory something it adds to its surroundings. It’s just one more paint on the infinite palette of the English language.
Today’s music is the absolute tonal opposite of today’s haiku. Sun In Our Eyes by MØ and Diplo makes me long for summer, crave it, despair for it; even thought I know that I’ll be longing for winter again the moments things heat up.
