Needs
by Richard VinceSome days, I need windows:
Access for my eyes to the sky,
Upwards at about thirty degrees
From horizontal, as I always
Did in my teens.
Some days, I need people:
An indoor landscape of humanity
To survey like a hidden hunter,
In search of hearts to target
My willing heart and imagination.
Some days, I need time:
A string of moments that are
All my own, free from
Others and the expectations
They unwittingly bring.
Some days, I need space:
The feeling of blissful smallness
That comes from an open
Landscape and distant horizon,
Room to breathe at last.
