If I sing right here
with only waves and fireflies to hear
will it bring me back?
I am lighter than mist
The helium in a red balloon in a toddler's fist
lighter than empty words.
Stop signs and grocery lines, I'm waiting
Waiting to feel home.
Bedtime and simple rhymes, I'm sated
Just to be muscle and bone.
If I lie around,
only birds in the absence of sound,
will they bring me back?
I am heavy spring rain.
Earthbound, but I hit the ground and evaporate.
Smells like life again.
Stop signs and grocery lines, I'm waiting
Waiting to feel home.
Bedtime and simple rhymes, I'm sated
Just to be muscle and bone
