I tried again
yes, this morning
opening the window awning.
Ajar at last,
I could see.
The lush grassy hill before me.
Splintered sore my knees
and worn degrees.
Calling back the noon high lectures
warm and still the smiling trees.
I reached around
Pulled myself up from what I could.
reached about the same old boots.
No distance
just broken nails
Straps, loosened loops
ripped my sole in two.
grin inside because you know the truth
desperation comes
to visit soon.
Stay...
Make some tea to feel better
find the spoon and wear your sweater.
No need to leave, it's all the same.
Distance hums the grand parade
Vibrant sounds fill your figure.
Go back down and lie awake.
This indecision I cannot take.
Up or down
again?
