12 years

reuniting with argentina

twelve years since eric and i
had been to argentina

twelve years since a rather
regrettable incident in 2014

but now we’re finally back
and it was definitely time

buenos aires is still as energetic
and colorful as it ever was

but it’s also fresher, cleaner now
than ever before

vibrant and cosmopolitan
passionate, expressive, and warm

nicknamed the “paris of south america”
both romanticized and unexpected

yet in some small way
comfortably familiar to me

we’ve owned an apartment in the city
for a decade and a half now

and when we’re here
it feels like home

oh, how time just seems to extend and
expand without mind-numbing routine

we’ve been marveling at how much life
has been lived in only four days

truly one of my favorite places on earth
so very gratifying to reunite once more

so delighted to have our oldest son join us for a week from los angeles
