Periwinkle
The last page.
Seventeen months of writing. The final words squeezed in.
It was time.
Honour the writing.
Cover to cover.
Late May.
The garden?
Coat on.
Shoes on.
Out the door.
A purple perwinkle blossom.
I smiled to myself.
Yes, this could work.
Pencil and pen.
Tentative lines.
Awkward.
Unknown.
New.
Try.
Try again.
Blossom in my left hand.
Pen in my right.
Looking.
Noticing.
Drawing.
Then the cover.
Pencil.
Ink.
Lines lead the way.
Yes.
A proper front cover.
Tenderly holding the writing.
Now, what will I draw for the back cover?
