Friday

The sky is spinning
the mind in a marathon
Stay with yourself
She says

Alcohol is in reach
So is food
And other men
Take a walk
She says

Standing in the driveway
Gazing at the tie die sky
Wondering how to get
through these feelings
Walk
She says

Eyes on the sidewalk
Left
Right
Left
Right
Dirty sneakers
Look up
She says

Everything is in season
Falling
So it can be bare

Shedding
Their warmth, their colors
falling
sitting cold
naked

Spring will come

There is such beauty
In the bareness 
of it all
Losing everything
Realizing none of it is really
you

The trees are left standing naked
roots in the ground

This is what you shall do
she says
depend on your roots
they will be with you 
till you die
everything else
will come and go

Stay grounded sweet girl
she says
You will be okay
