“Hey, Birthday Girls.” Says Fediore and Hanzel. Closing eyes and leaning on Shenyafie’s shoulders as she drives the soft blade of the knife through the glittering dark of the leftover chocolate birthday cake. Everyone standing around as if just out of the pool, drying off, standing around, that’s it, standing, talking, shuffling back and forth on the deck of the present before the boat slowly pulls away into the future.
That’s how it is, that’s it, throwing your jacket over your shoulders and saying birthday for Kim Yerim especially Acacia, Ailaa, Alnilam, Malini, Asedaf, Vayyara, Mecha, Rembulan, Shabiel, Yumime, Biya, Kathy, Janne, Yorucha, Teara, Abella, Ralgin, Kemala, Kinan, Jean, Kenna, Yara, Chevannya, Jane, Keith, Nafa, Grisellda, Yioomi, Kenna, Ayava, Nala, Millie, Milea, Mecha, Yespi, Yasmine, Zellaya, Maurra, Nara, and Injek. Take care be well hang in there see you soon. Enjoy your day.
