I stretch my summer legs out and look at them in a goodbye way because
the autumn is here, suddenly, right there
hiding in mornings and wind and creeping in with
the evenings earlier and earlier each time.
i stretch my back like an arch but not the arch
i used to have when i was more active in the way
of bodies and flex and less stress
i try not to think of the shitty night sleeps that
roll in and roll out and always leave me
less conversational and more wanting to lean my head
on your shoulder
if your shoulder was here. at all.
i fill my lungs for this year
that i'm sure will have me choking
for air before long, these hiccups and
sucking snot back into my head
is just the standard routine of a
don't want to do this shit type of era.
today i did a favour for someone i don't even like,
someone i think is rude and arrogant.
i'm waiting to have positive things
to say and think, without feeling like
i'm totally goading myself on into tomorrow.
i wonder what anybody else thinks.
