​Good things take time.

It’s what I learned as an apprentice.

What I tell myself about writing.

And about ageing.

***

Strawberry jam needs three days.

Exactly.

Not less.

Or a day more. 

***

I’m fussy.

I want fruit before sweet.

Strawberries are summer’s first kiss.

Chanel Rouge Allure lips.

Ed Behr says, 

“ripeness is fleeting.”

Calls the best berries,

“smaller, softer, more vulnerable.”

For the beautiful people.

Who showed up with full arms and hearts.

When I was recovering in January.
