128Please respect copyright.PENANAI0ehfkNvqO
The summers shimmered like old film reels, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAiQtBPDYx5F
a sepia gloss cast over mother’s kitchen,128Please respect copyright.PENANAUjkfl9EMHq
her hands kneading cookie dough, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ5cz2RbuD
soft scents of sugar rising. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAx1XdjJ1oIt
128Please respect copyright.PENANAxOZq3jYxWu
The screen door clattered, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAkyXTw96Ptr
and the sweet smell mingled with chlorine from grandmother’s pool, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAs3w7nDDTQ7
where cousins cannonballed into echoes of laughter. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAjWTItLCwof
128Please respect copyright.PENANA26dAyaZwLw
The afternoons spilled across paperbacks, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAtWyiJ9apEl
their pages curling like the ends of my sister’s hair. 128Please respect copyright.PENANABTCqSq8RkH
128Please respect copyright.PENANA5AEknAeyL6
Cartoons flickered on boxy TVs, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAFXMrTJWwy7
their pixelated heroes as real as the worn handlebars of my bike, 128Please respect copyright.PENANACGpXyI4xeA
racing shadows down suburban streets. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAKWKV2Oh1z0
128Please respect copyright.PENANA26s4x2t9DE
The world outside our cul-de-sac stretched infinite, 128Please respect copyright.PENANARlSfkvJsqw
but we stayed close: tethered by the constellations of our youth. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAdVvy0qewu8
128Please respect copyright.PENANATpK05qGhME
Camping nights held stars we claimed as our own, 128Please respect copyright.PENANArYy8r1BHmb
the firelight etching stories into our faces. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA7LVvqE91z3
128Please respect copyright.PENANAV5zcdKOMyZ
We sang out of tune; the crickets didn’t care. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAYN9iqZ9lIx
128Please respect copyright.PENANA0LKmqsiqEJ
In the mornings, dew clung to tents like memory, 128Please respect copyright.PENANARd9MGYu91O
a fleeting gloss, both sharp and sweet. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA2tM3YCjz2f
128Please respect copyright.PENANADZbXY58Mn1
Road trips unraveled like mixtapes: 128Please respect copyright.PENANAGg3C6oeITn
the hum of tires, static-laced pop songs, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAnZsh1pD76i
and the unspooling map of our chatter. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAD4dJn8ICnG
128Please respect copyright.PENANA3FiOHJWGNQ
Even silence held a warmth, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAHxRmdyfhYn
like the weight of a pet curled at your feet, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAUQcLM1YN0N
their breath syncing with the pulse of home. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAr47R9dVQ6K
128Please respect copyright.PENANAWlT7yuRV0U
Wasn’t it all so achingly alive? 128Please respect copyright.PENANAJSwZs83Abi
128Please respect copyright.PENANAx9zdKBORau
The air electric with nothingness and everything: 128Please respect copyright.PENANAtjJj3hnXZR
an afternoon sprawled on grandmother’s couch, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAtKR7PA1sMf
the hum of a box fan drowning the world’s static, 128Please respect copyright.PENANA7UoSbYVwcH
our hands sticky with popsicle promises. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAiO9sT3TLXd
128Please respect copyright.PENANAuIY3TuqBgl
Now, these moments unspool, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAkMzcTtuKR6
like glitter caught in the edges of old Polaroids. 128Please respect copyright.PENANARiJ9k6zzR7
128Please respect copyright.PENANArze1ofBvCp
Not gone, never gone, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAzPgZWumWeq
but held in the amber light of reflection, 128Please respect copyright.PENANA2rJdKAthkU
a time both retro and eternal, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAphhIBnxF1m
where we were endless, 128Please respect copyright.PENANAFN82V06tbE
and the world shone as if it knew us.128Please respect copyright.PENANAwfjpKtKoIj
