Searching

Text:

Rubber coated throat
Throws me
Into teenage dreams
Of green,
Teaming at the
Seams.

Lean into
This,
Dream of paperback
Scented leaves,
Escape into the mind
Of someone across the world,
Live a life
You never had
Through sensations lost
Crossed
And divided.

Drink deeply.
Lick the salt rim,
Stand on the beach you weren’t born on,
Walk the roads you’ve never drove
And call it home.
One day it might be.
