It's so invigorating,
this California breeze
blowing in through
the pretty redwoods,
& my open window.

O, I just love lying here,
stretching my toes
& waking up
to a brand new day
in a strange bed
& feeling so alone.

But
it doesn't really matter
I guess,
I confess,
I'm kind of used to it
by now,
used to loneliness
following me
everywhere I go.
