I don\u2019t live there anymore,
\ndowntown streets,
\npicking glass up on the shore,
\nfalling in love every week or two,
\nwatching bad movies.
\nOne day
\nI sat for a long time
\nin one place.
\nI don\u2019t remember how many stars
\nI counted,
\nsaw the moon rise and fall,
\nwatched airplanes fly overhead
\nand prayed for their safe journey.<\/p>\n
In a very real way I wanted my life
\nto be in one place.
\nMy heart to cross one bridge
\nand destroy itself behind me.
\nI wanted existential time
\nto disappear, and my life be simplified.
\nI wanted to say if someone asked,
\nwhere do you live,
\nI can reply,
\nhere,
\nto everything else,
\nI don\u2019t live there anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I don\u2019t live there anymore, downtown streets, picking glass up on the shore, falling in love every week or two, watching bad movies. One day…<\/p>\n
