Hwy 27

the saturation 

stunning me 

things better filtered 

like photos, 

coffee & cigarettes 

have you heard it yet?

the song of the morning 

it calls your name 

takes you over 

for today 

you're okay 

Leaving

i saw you in the glow 

lighting up the trees as sunset

& the wind inflicted tears, i felt

as if I've never done that 

i heard you in the sound 

of my farthest-away mother 

her words are warm on frozen ground 

they run like river water 

i heard you in the forest

who should i hold onto? 

i'm broken like the branches 

like the leaves i'm trippin through
