Laying awake in a darkened room, shared by sisters, over the years a span of six, all bonded by a surname...glimpses of a life waiting to be lived, after prom dates turn into marriage.
Across bare breasts a warm, muggy breeze floating in the checkerboard screen on a mid-summer's night, the stars twinkling above...with the only good thing coming from the outside lilac trees.
Three decades later the intricate, purple buds blossom, and take me back to the day when a life waiting to be lived seemed unattainable...but now is a grand fantasy.
