Eucalyptus It’s dark in here and reeks of Eucalyptus I recklessly open my unfamiliar window to let in some warm daylight but the grim darkness still lingers- my lungs sting I close my eyes and leave this place for temporary relief My journey is short but long in the making I enter a world that is constant and unchanging I am standing in a meadow and there is a yellow goldfinch singing the sweetest song I can hear it now as we sit in the shade giggling telling each other about our day My white shorts are damp from the blanket absorbing the cool off the ground we sit on It lacks a certain comfort but I don’t mind I’m as giddy as the lively June breeze gently flicking the pinkness onto our cheeks We carelessly laugh some more while we finish eating the mini corn dogs we bought from the neighborhood hot dog shack Your face lights up with a warm and unsuspecting grin then I smell it again Eucalyptus I am back in the meadow The goldfinch no longer singing It is time to open my eyes- my lungs are still stinging 28
I can see us still From here in the dark Though, here, something has changed We are both looking forward and seem to be the same But I am staring at my future and you at your grave Today, I am more like the you who was sitting in the shade than the me I was on that warm summer day The smell of Eucalyptus is strong now Stronger than it ever was before It never leaves Burns when I breathe in deeply Stings after I exhale slowly The feeling is so comforting- It reminds me of home It is you that I breathe You are Eucalyptus Danielle Gutierrez 29
