Apricity

the soft glow of the TV
porch light shining through the cracked blinds
messy, relaxed
1 am
I’m watching a Korean drama
Loc is asleep on the couch, his head on my lap
Kimchi moves to lay in between Loc’s belly and the couch
he grooms his own soft white belly
sitting upright like a human
Life is stressful, but bearable
Life is actually divinely blissful looking back —
what I would do to have one more night
of the mundane, ordinary, predictable life.
