Alien Landscape

kisses and little cars

what a lazy soft and tumbly day today has been! floating among rain-smelling pillows, reading books and wearing smiles.

i saw a gorgeousblue and red truck. it reminded me of my first lip kiss which was with a girl! it was nothing romantic. we were just a couple of girls in early teens who were dying to know how it is like to be kissed so we randomly paired up and gave our partners a hasty kiss on the lips. it was a moment full of laughter and innocence. what was it like? like tasteless strawberries and fragrant skies. like a bump to the forehead and a blink of an eye. it was just like that. brief, unexpected and soft. my partner's lips were swollen the next day. i remember being undecided whether to feel insulted or insanely flattered [to have such an impactful kiss]. oh lovely days.

i took many pictures of these two girls shoving each other on their way home. it was kind of sweet. my last one of them was of them running away together. [at home, i giggled at the photos. they didn't see me! hee hee!] it is so rare that i feel girlish.
then i played blocks and cars with little Syahmi. then we munched on vege popiahs and chatted about masked rider Riyuki. i treasure these moments when i get to play and chat with a fellow kid. Syahmi's such a sweet one but he gets this berserker rage when he's hyped up or angry. i was once in his path and was thrashed impressively (with bruises). that kid's barely taller than my hip and so light i can lift him with an arm. yet his spirit is like the sea.

when i have a son one day, his spirit will be like the sky. feral, peaceful, wise.
