#STORYTELLING: REVERSE EMPTY NEST SYNDROME

Your kitchen. The sights and sounds that came from here... Baking smells dancing in the tunnels of my nose. On the contrary, I know you would not sugar-coat and ice my life issues right now. Short(bread) and sweet and to the point.
 I need that.
Still.

Redness of your silent stoep. Redness of your unharvested grapes. Redness of rich wisdom from your lips. Redness of my heart. Bleeding love for you.
Still.

You don't know this guy. But I'm sure he'd irritate the hell outta you.
"Fo'tsek".
 Still.


An short ode to a matriarch.
