    June Relocation: Consequences

    The heat,
    the fatigue.
    My soul said no
    and folded
    into a spore,
    quiescent,
    waiting for
    quiet and cool.
    Beyond salvation,
    mental starvation,
    self‑deprivation.
    Burnout,
    burn right,
    burn left,
    burn everywhere.
    I feel too old
    for new beginnings
    in the chokehold
    of this feral sun.
    The bare minimum
    is already
    too much.

    Saturday

    I woke up with no rush
    and had a nice breakfast
    with my boyfriend.
    Kefir
    with oats and walnuts
    and dark chocolate.
    I love taking my time
    sipping my hot coffee,
    it’s the smell that gets me,
    not the caffeine.
    The sun was shining,
    we had a little walk
    and then had ravioli for lunch.
    We added cherry tomatoes
    of many hues:
    red, yellow, green,
    orange and purple.
    He cut them all in half
    and I felt a sudden urge
    to arrange them on a plate
    in a multicoloured wheel
    with mozzarella in the centre,
    shaped like a milky flower.
    The dish was finally blessed
    with a twirl of olive oil,
    pepper and oregano.
    It was so simple
    but it felt so good.
    Then I had jasmine green tea.
    I felt at peace.
