Gauche

Gauche—
the art
of arriving
half a second
out of rhythm.

Laughing
too loudly
in quiet rooms.
Speaking truths
people preferred
wrapped in silk.

I was never
good
at polished entrances.
My soul
has always walked in
with muddy boots,
stardust in its hair,
and emotions
spilling from its pockets.

Some call it awkward.
Too much.
Too strange.

But there is honesty
in the unrefined.

A kind of beauty
in those
who do not glide
through the world
pretending
to be untouched by it.

Maybe
gauche people
are simply hearts
still brave enough
to feel visibly.

    Your poem made me think of the Charlotte Bronte quote: “I would always rather be happy than dignified.” Thanks for joining in!

        I live in Syria, a country that has awesome landscape and cities. It has nice places, like The Damascus Castle and Palmyra.

        Last year, our summer was filled with a lot of heat at more than 45°C. It’s too hot for us to enjoy our days 🥵

        Yes, that’s to hot 🥵

        We have had day’s with that temperature. Then we sit with the air-conditioning on full speed.

        Indeed! We, too, run the air conditioner at full speed. We set it up to blow cold air at the coldest temperature, which is less than 18°C. In my room, when I set it up, it gets cold quickly, and I can enjoy my day without sweating.
