I Am Ready

I miss the sun

like I miss the warmth your body provides in our bed.

I am over the rain

like I am over the incessant microaggressions and microinvalidations

in the toxic workplace I left.

I am ready for the deluge of sun kisses and blue skies

like I am ready for the deluge of newness in a better workplace.

Over the moon and into the new terrain I go.

Nighttime starry sky in the background. In the foreground, black silhouetted hands grasp the bottom of a jar which is made to look like it holds the galaxy and universe and is releasing them into the night sky.
