where the water is always blue
and tan girls sway to an exotic tune.
Where great green cliffs fold with the wind.
Where food isn't limited to mangoes and pineapples.
Aloha nui ka kou-
because where ever you go,
the faint scent of plumeria
will follow you like a shadow.
Welcome to Hawaii,
where a constant sense of belonging
is a necessity.
Where the color of your skin
is always on your mind.
and your ancestors rubbed lemon juice over themselves
to lighten the dark tones they were so ashamed of.
Welcome to Hawaii
where the sound of the surf is no stranger
and the sun melts into the water leav

This day began as every other day had. Sitting on the red vinyl barstool, I toyed with the salt and pepper shakers. The faded green curtains were pulled apart, revealing the dreary landscape outside. The mist was rising off the cold grey cement, and not for the first time that day, I was glad I wasA Morning at Mabel's by ~picklemonster

I haven't been here in a while,
