I write you again 
a pleading voice.
like a lover ghosted,
left on read, 
forgotten.

I beg To see you again. 
It shouldn’t be that hard my friends say 
it should be easy. 

yet I find myself searching 
unsure how to reach 
you. 

you are a deep memory 
a version of me I forget being 

looking inside myself does nothing 
looking for answers only causes confusion 

some say we are meant to change. 

Others stand and question where the “old you” went. 

I want to tell them 
she is still here 
she is me 
dwelling quietly 
she just doesn’t fit in with the new version of me. 

Raccoon
possum

some other
night critter

tries to
sneak past

my open
window. 

Crunch, crunch.
Dead leaves

betray their
presence. 

Had too much to drink.
The tree frogs song, 
a night time tinnitus inside My brain.
Breeze on my skin feels like your fingers

Wind chimes
C
      D
            E

Night spinning, eyelids drooping,
anchor heavy arms and legs.

I miss you

The children of the forest, once wild and free,
Were driven out by industry and man
But there are still a few of us left
Here in these hills and hollers
Barefoot and unworried
About progress and
Passage of time
You’ll find us
If you look
Real hard
