Florida

It smells hot -- 
like decomposing dirt tucked under steaming mulch. 
Tropical condensation dripping from 
hibiscus leaves --
The kind if hot that sticks to your skin and feels like 
liquid sun; salty, sandy, ocean hot. 


--

This morning I woke up to the sound of the Atlantic coming through my balcony door and I got up to look out at the sun rising over the water. I don't think I'm coming home. 

Bss,

Marybeth
