The sumac, the dark water, the sound of feet against tar, the word joy (I like to think it’s the feeling). You are so clever.

I loved especially the word “pad” and the whole j-o-y sequence.
It is amazing how “pad” got to me. That one animal word. Three little letters. The perfect word. Damn.
I am touched by your remarkable talent. Once again.
