bottles sitting in echoes
memories — not dust

bottles in the window — Looking out of the dawn-cooled sunroom at Uncle’s house; it’s filled with his paintings and hand-set mosaics, as well as curios and artefacts he’s gathered over decades. These beautiful antique bottles, hold living memories, not dust.

  I’ll tell him you said hello. It was awesome to spend some time together. 6 days until I go back, I don’t think I’ll come for 6 weeks again (unless Jerry is with me, it’s too long to be away from him).
