smell of smoke in icy air
a shimmer of water droplets in the sun
the squeak of an old wooden staircase
light on the bottom of a clear pool
light reflected on puddles
the green iridescence of a beetle’s wing
a glow stick being snapped
night wind carrying the scent of freshly baked bread
the taste left in your mouth after a dentist’s appointment
people talking a room away
walking barefoot on sidewalk
plucking a peach off the tree
aloe being slathered on a sunburn
porch light in the distance
pouring something into a glass
a deer darting away under the trees
putting on clean underwear
an unpleasantly damp handshake
the soft fur behind a dog’s ears
crunching ice at the bottom of the glass
licking your fingers while eating Cheetos
fighting against the urge to cry
floating on your back in water
the smell of an elderly relative’s house
fireworks close enough to feel in your chest
the radio playing in the background at a restaurant
a toilet flushing in a public restroom
your breath coming out in clouds in the cold
putting accidentally way too much salt on your food
the weird green afterimage after coming in from the snow
getting scratched by briars
a popsicle stick against your tongue
a swallow of a carbonated drink
trying to fall asleep in a too-warm room
loud laughter somewhere else in the neighborhood
a round rock in the palm of your hand
putting your hair in a tight ponytail
steam rising from a bowl of soup
gum with all the flavor chewed out of it
an earthworm squirming in your palm
someone pulling away from a hug you wish would last longer
ripping up a tuft of grass
getting water in your eyes
the packaging of snack food you’re eating late at night
cold water down your neck
cleaning dirt from under your nails
holding your breath underwater
the smell of stagnant water
bending a green twig in your hands
another person touching your skin with cold hands
hard candy dissolving in your mouth
a feeling of acceleration in your chest
