I went for a walk in my life and got lost.
I’d been moving with such authority that everyone thought I knew where I was going.
I even took some people with me.
Human breadcrumbs.
A year ago today I lost my shit.
Covid pressure came out in the form of sunscreen,
That can still be found in the cracks.
That girl hasn’t lived here since.
Peace took her place
Now my found parts can no longer be shaken by breaking news or broken dishes.
That’s what we call a bright side.
Remember when we couldn’t stop talking about 2019?
Did something happen that year?
I can’t remember either.
Reruns aren’t funny anymore.
Very literally a lifetime ago.
Were we lost in those lives too?
By the way, who knew the color green could do this?
It’s important to pause and marvel.
We now know what fleeting means.
I want a partner who loves me enough to leave me alone.
For long stretches.
One who will come and find me in both of my woods.
One with peace in his pockets,
Or sunscreen in her purse.
This pruning has been painful,
Said the entire world.
How many years,
Until we bear fruit again?
Strangely enough, walking was how I found myself too.
