I miss the days.
When cupcakes were just vanilla sponges with icing.
Sprinkled with hundreds and thousands.
I miss the days.
When I wore fake gold bangles and played pretend in our building’s abandoned stairwell for hours.
I miss the days.
When I would go to sleep in Prague
and wake up in Zurich.
When cupcakes could heal, gold was kept for wedding days
and Europe could promise escape.
