what is this?

i see it

it is new

i smell it

it is in my hands

it is what i am doing

it is fun

it is in my mouth

it is on my face

it lights up my brain

it makes me feel

it is now

it is texture

it is flavor

it waters my mouth

i enjoy this

it is wonderful

it is happiness

it is…experi–

"It’s a plum."

oh. i guess this is Plum.

About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)
