Poems
Apr 2023
I'll Be There Soon
Every now and then
I become 10 years old
I'm laying in my parents bed
melting into worn sheets and heavy blankets
I can hear my sister on the phone
she's chatting about some math test
The walls were always thin
I can hear my mother with the vacuum
and my father and brother cooking breakfast
They are toasting english muffins
and scrambling eggs
The bacon is sizzling
and the hash browns are crispy
I can smell it now as it floods my house
seeping into the hallway and into the room
The birds outside are singing
and the sunlight is golden as it carresses
my weary, aged eyes
But I am 10 right now
my shoulders have no weight to carry
And I feel as though I am one with the wind
slowly floating away from where I should be,
back towards home.
