starch light, wet wood
leaves drip overhead
I look out my window,
morning sweeps up from underneath, pink light
the mist over our fields, guides me to the coast
hanging rows of laundry,
gravel under bare feet
the wind sighs through my sheets,
and sings herself
into me
I keep changing my address-
and fresh dew lights the way
no concrete stairwells or cigarettes
no tab on my path,
just laying in the grass
with a new book. with my quiet thoughts.
I’m a girl in the woods,
here to greet my big sea
and touch the dirt with my heart
I'm a girl
inside my mind, and right beside my body
I don’t need your city. I am
free
