Lengthy, newsy letters
To catch up with friends.
Planned week-end outings
To catch up with family.
Long, passionate embraces
To catch up on love.
Why am I always catching up?

Detached…..involved
Detailed and summed.

Here’s to
weaving girl dreams and woman fantasies
dancing unrehearsed to one another’s beat

laughing uncontrolled till eyes brim with tears
looking exotic in floor-length silky wear
feeling as pretty in mix-match garbs at ukay sale.
