Two homes
And everything in between.
I want to wrap my mouth around a beach
At each end.
I wonder if the salt tastes the same.
I wonder if the boats go down like
Fiz Whiz or Prozac.
I want my fingers to find their way into villages
Not flood nor puddle
But stream.
I want to run deep,
In a direction that is mine.
Maybe they’ll name towns after me,
Or maybe I’ll evaporate before the year is out.
