Common Places

A commonplace book is a place to keep scraps of your favorite poems, pressed flowers, what an old woman whispered to you on the bus, or dreams.
This is mine.

Soapy Heels

So glide away on soapy heels
And promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again
Then I will take the chain from off the door

-from “The Chain” by Ingrid Michaelson
