read MY f’cking rant, kos

i would leave …today
and walk straight through tomorrow
if only i knew
that i’d find
you

i remember thinking…
as we watched the
fire flies fading
like falling embers into the night
…i should kiss you
in this smoldering light

in the morning…
memory brings the garden into bloom
i still smell days, just before rain
and hear the thud and splat
of water, gathering in the bird bath
and making mud of our path

the afternoon and the sun
fall through the bedroom window
all warm and yellow,
with a warmed breeze blowing over us
… those few perfect moments of rest
when there is no need for it…

these things, and a hundred more
make me pull open the door
and walk away from today
through tomorrow
and further

to find you…………………
