The Summer Day by Mary Oliver Vellichor by S.M.(M).L. A creaky wooden door jingles open, breathe in vellichor. Shelves like branches full of paper leaves. Smell vanilla tannins drift down and surround, spores sift through sunlight while cross-legged our limbs the roots, fingers skim over bindings, searching, selecting, the inevitability and impossibility of just one choice this time. A creaky wooden door jingles behind, breathe in salt sea. Wind whips our hair, we tip- toe across the sands, barely leaving footprints, our toes bare. We settle in, nestled: arms like wings wrap around, cozied together as the sun just starts to warm, We pull the pages open and dive in as the waves splash, and the wind whips; the sand swirls, and your wings hold me steady just long enough to point the way this time.
