Giving Thanks, Anticipating Heat

Feeling less panicked in the morning.
Paint.
Ferns.
Blinds.
Flip-flops.

Giving Thanks in the Heat

Orgasms.
Time before school starts.
Long dresses.
A good haircut.
Bleach.

Thanksgiving and Breathing

Sketchbooks.
Colored Pencils.
Trains.
Poetry.
Sunshine.
Feeling like myself for a moment.

Giving Thanks in the Summer Fog

Singing birds.
Online groups.
Writing it out.
Moments when I don't think about it.
Untainted memories.

Thanksgiving with a broken heart

Mending.
Truth.
Someone to listen.
Tears.
Motivation for change.
Time.
Understanding what all those country songs are about.
