Eyelids warm and heavy
half cracked on the bridge between dreams,
rolling over to the scent of familiarity,
a wave of forgotten energy,
invisible river I reach out to touch,
grasp riddled with lethargy…
as the other part of me
says baby it’s so easy,
follow me this way to letting go…
I’ve carried you along in my backpack,
In my notebooks,
like a slow jam
craving the fecundity of what was never meant to be.
a habit that lost its substance,
that belonged to someone else…
What seemed so close,
now distant and foreign..
The delivery of waking up to what was never really yours
and the freedom of letting go…
The process of allowing,
and the peace that comes from all of the things you do not have to carry…
I can finally close the door because you are home…
And I am free…
