Earlier today, my heart / down Russell Sq

a poem about moments I want to remember in April

Earlier today, my heart
down Russell Sq,
beat to the music, 
the foliage, the vitamin d, 
sprinting next to a friend 
who smiles with the prettiest eyes.

My windowsill is in full bloom: 
flowers from Mini, Haanya, and Krit.
Living is an addiction:
the wall still echoes laughter from
Mason’s wicked jokes, and the kitchen
still smells of Hanna's buttery dough.

On the stage that night, 
Lenker's voice erupts like a volcano:
Real love is double infinity.

A mysterious power:
my budding feeling,
ready to give again,

promise I won’t monkey with it this time.
