Yesterday the sunset happened to me. Facing the West in earnest, the sky in my open mouth, I tasted the colors like they were sorbet from a street vendor, mangoes and strawberries and tangerines.
Then I went back inside, sent four emails, and clicked “Add to Cart” ten more times.
Abbey is a 22-year-old living in Brooklyn, NY. Her writing has appeared in her high school’s newspaper and the journal on her bedside table.
lovely! I feel like you’ve been living this story for a while…
A sensorily rich palette that lingers on after reading. It brought to mind a smiling face, the luscious stains on mouth, cheeks and chin joyful signs of life and nature.
Congratulations, Abbey. Love the images of the sorbet! Sweet.
Beautiful!!
