Sailing, drifting, wandering
Between the streetlights
Pavement cloaked in the moonlight
And my feet are bare
Mind is put out there
Singing nothing to no one
Stars don’t raise up their brows at me
Cause they don’t care
Oh no no they don’t care
Like some do
Taking a walk
April’s breath is good to me
It is good for me
Taking a walk
For the first time in a long time
I am feeling free
I am acting freely
Sailing, drifting, wandering
Through rows of buildings
Every single one built to be
A twin to mine
And that is more than fine
Counting backwards and forwards
Trees don’t know of anxiety
But I’m no tree
Oh no no I’m no tree
I’m waiting
Taking a walk
April’s breath is good to me
It is good for me
Taking a walk
For the first time in a long time
I am feeling free
I am thinking freely
Tethered to you
Tethered to them
Tethered to him and to her
Restless
Headed anywhere
At any time
For any reason
There is no more gravity
Forgive me for my apathy
You can keep your arguments
And keep your firmament
Of shouting minds
At one another
Be unkind
To one another
Who needs to unwind,
Mother?
Taking a walk
April’s breath is good to me
It is good for me
Taking a walk
For the first time in a long time
I am feeling free
But I am not quite free
Sailing, drifting, wandering
I’m tethered
Tethered
I’m tethered
Tethered
I’m tethered
Tethered
