soft as rabbit ears

i will feel the fullness of this life the way the ocean swallows the shore every night. the way the sun drapes itself over the mountains to rest. i will feel at home on dusty streets and lay by the river after a swim. i will be as soft as rabbit ears and sleep like a rock. I will drip flowers into my hair and taste like the ocean and honey and rain. i will whisper words you can’t hear that tickle your ears and smell the summer night on your hair. here’s to writing feelings on a crumpled napkin on a one-way flight. There’s a map in my dream and I’m on an arrow going straight through earth’s heart. it’s a rainy drive up the north coast. i’m thinking of him. writing a book. and the air here is lush and so heavy and rich. and this night smells like fire and pine needles and luck.
