I have moved not far away but it feels a little strange sometimes. Like, sunny days just seem to show the wrinkles in the clothes I wear.
I am scared not of my life but the fears that I now entertain. They are fears I do not trust, should I be even scared at all? for I was raised in a scared land the love my parents share is deep. Walk one day, I'd be halfway home where I could safely sleep for forty days and then awake to a room that would not have changed. The ferns still tall, the pines along the hill outside my window.
And I will have to ask for help, and I don't know what you'll say. I will feel so young again and you will feel it too. And it all seems so contrived, I can see them try to prove each other to themselves, I can see it in myself. And I can feel it on the wind, it tightens up my skin, you will hear it everyday in the pounding of the waves. And we will changed the way we speak - you will treat me as a friend, not the spirit that I was, moving in your very lungs.
