things i miss

I’d like to paint the world green
wander through lush gardens and tall grasses sprinkled
with wildflowers and blackberry patches.
I miss hanging moss and old tree trunks fallen with rot,
toadstools growing underneath, and the smell of wet earth.
I miss front porch swings and the sound of thunderstorms and the clean cool breeze on the Florida – Georgia line.
I miss wasted days wandering through woods, climbing red clay cliffs, and spelunking deep into dark and damp secret caverns, discovering hidden springs, and making forest trails with bare feet.
I miss dare devil bridge diving.
I miss nights by the river under the stars.
I miss reading on rooftops of houses I didn’t own.
I miss lost hours watching ants at work and lying in fields of clover.
And I miss him.

I am currently Lucky
I am listening to Fractal
