What does a promise taste like?
It tastes like fresh challah bread and three day stale sandwich bread
It tastes like ice cream snuck from the fridge after midnight straight out of the carton
It tastes like the air before a warm rain
What does a promise feel like?
It feels like the air of a secret escaping your lips
It feels a cold stream on your bare feet on the hottest day in summer
It feels like the knot at the base of your neck you can never quite work out
What does a promise smell like?
It smells like the musty couches of the staff lounge where we spend hours together
It smells like wool soaked in campfire smoke
It smells like burnt popcorn and fresh earth and lake muck and dish soap
What does a promise sound like?
The noise of a city
The quiet of a farm
The song of something in between
What does a promise look like?
You darling, it looks just like you
