Consider
by Catarina Delgado

 I tried to analyze my life through the lens of science fiction

 and realized there’s more meaning in feeding a void than in

 asking for solutions. 

Consider:

The wasted potential of sunny afternoons. The infinite certainty

  of abandoned miracles. Immortality attained through memory.   

                                                      The eternal enemy we call time.

The flowers in your garden have wrinkles and there’s one

that looks like your grandmother when she asked you for

a cup of tea at the end of November. 

                                                            Light touches a yellow petal.

                                                 You see the moment differently.

Incessantly looking for interpretations annihilates the

essence of an answer.  The feeling should be enough.
