When we ran away

Oh, dear reader! Do you remember when we ran away?
When we ran to our loves and they embraced us
And so we packed up our suitcases
With our favorite clothes
And left
To the most beautiful place we thought could exist
And our old thumpity bumpity truck
Drove down little dirt roads
Through pastures and flower fields
And we swore we would never leave

We slept in barns full of fresh cut hay
And spare rooms stacked with handmade quilts
We forgot about life and let the sea breeze carry us
To places that couldn’t possibly exist
In the world we had known before

I remember our great times
When the world feels too much
I think back to your face
And suddenly the world feels a bit more bearable

  • Waiting for Winter


    I wait for winter
    in her heavy white boots
    and sharp sparkling nails
    her 5th avenue white fur coat
    and flushed pink cheeks
    she wears black tights
    taught over thin, toned legs
    summer and autumn
    watch her in envy
  • roots

    My deep tangled roots
    Twisted into knots
    Running cross country
    Are dragging towards the ocean
    Yearning for the sun dripping down
    Over wet seals bodies
    In warm embrace
    I want nothing to do
    With this life
    Today,
  • Sunday

    The rain has found its way
    Onto our mountain
    Drenching each new bud
    Reaching for life 
    In the foggy air
    Smothering their joyous cries
    As mud seems to engulf us
    One 
    By one
