In which I return
after a hiatus — hello!

Did you notice that I was gone?

I no longer ask that
for a need to be seen
and remembered

but more out of curiosity
of confirming that
it’s okay if you didn’t,
we all have busy lives

but also out of bonus gratitude
if you did,
it’s amazing
that in this large world
we have crossed paths
in our time together

I hope
we still have time
to be and exist
with joy.

Will that be hard
in the next four years?

#WritingPrompt: out of ~ bonus ~ gratitude
