today I felt the need,
the need to move away;
this place is much too close
and reeks of yesterday.

there’s a diff’rence between flight
and the things you have to do
to get back to the light.

I’ve been one to keep
wanting and waiting for things
just beyond my reach.

still feigning belief
that you will want to be the
