something beautiful {8/7/15}
Kelley Clink
Today's assignment: write about something beautiful, like the way your baby's head smells after she's been in the sunshine. Like how you could see all your grandmother's fillings when she laughed. Like how August mornings are fresh and cool, and evenings are electric blue, and your windows frame the tops of trees so all you see is green.
Like how right now, this very second, there is silence--then a bird sings, and you breathe.
