CRAZY

It's crazy how much I love this girl - 
if I'm a pirate, she's my mountain of gold
and while sailing at night, my northern star
yet when we dock, she's my Zanzibar.

(Joya picks up almost anything and turns it into a toy that she flips in the air, catches, chases, since everything is animate and joyful play in her world.)

Beach Fruit

I don’t know whether I’m more surprised that people leave fruit on the beach

or that crows and mammals haven’t eaten it before I walk past

or how beautiful it can be

or that it can blend in so well.
