Don't get attached.

Don't get attached.

This last year you have been

Floating. Sighing high above the houses

Uncontrollably.

Waning in the face of the wind.

So don't let comfortable joy overcome you.

For soon you will be

Grasping, Slipping, Ripping

Back into the empty open sky.

Beautiful.
This took me somewhere...familiar, yet distant...and it was very beautiful.

I thought you should have been writing this entire time. I feel cheated of all the poetry you could have composed since your last writerscafe affair. I'm glad you're back.. even if your hair's all blonde and cropped. You make the best fellow band on the go member. :)
