i keep notes on my day
like how the red fox
jumped on my roof
early day
searching for birds
turning to me as i
spoke, his yellow eyes
told me more
than I should every know.
I have fallen out of the window
without my umbrella
it is a straight shot fast and tumbling
to unknown ground
and when I hit the turf below
arms flailing and legs in the air
I find that it is so much softer
than expected.
a gentle float would have been so much nicer
but now I am awake.
I swallowed it all
felt the burning slide deep
knew the end was near
but it didn't matter
it was over anyway
over and out
and far from heaven.
my mind wanders
into other landscapes
where things are lush and green
I take myself there
transport myself into another world
wet and wild
oceans shore, lakes soft waters
anywhere but here
where brown and dry
becomes the norm.
Push me
pull me
drag me to a life I shoud have
not this one that dogs me now
fly me
swim me
any mode will do
I am looking for that new tomorrow
the one that near the blue forever.
