My favorite mood is sleepy & content...
like when you wake up from a nap and it's dark out.
Or when you're laying on the beach listening to the ocean with your eyes closed,
and the sun is hot on the tops of your feet.
Or when you are stoned and curled up with boy under a down comforter,
face nuzzled in that warm soft spot between shoulder & neck.
Or riding home from Allentown late at night and the whole bus is asleep,
feeling internalized staring out the window at headlights on the highway.
Or when you're five years old, wrapped in a towel falling asleep on your grandmother's lap
after a long day out on the boat, and she smells like clean laundry and you can feel salt in your eyelashes.
Here, it is just sleepy, and not so much content.
I'm not homesick. I just feel older than I'd like to.
