We had a nice little stop at Shakespeare and Company to pick up gifts for my parents. Luckily I remembered to have all the books stamped because that was the first thing my father checked for. My favorite selection was Sky Sailors which covers the early years of hot air balloon flight in Paris. I read the first half in their little nook filled with visitor's good wishes and photos.
My head drifts, connecting dots on the ceiling with stars. Counting hair follicles and fancy shoe collections. I sigh heavily and suck in. Holding the breath through to a new age. Expecting a change in molecules, but I'm here. Again and still and forever. Floating unfinished.
