home :,)
I go through a hundred name phases a day, but my list of lists, the names that stick around-- they’re the names that feel like [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] afternoons, making cookies for the next day, walking home from the train, a winter sunset, wind burn, horseshoe crabs, jazz music, sparrows on the sidewalk, needing a sweatshirt on the beach, bags full of shells, the way the lights in the city look from the bridge. ferries.
