Aftertaste

Kisses at 3 in the morning
Chinese food and
24/7 coffee stops

Lost in another forest
Of a greyed out city
Filling in on the map

River roads running
Through the mouths
Of nearby bay fronts

While we reconnect
And see what ships
To sea

Old high school friend,
Where have you been?

Who knew holding your hand
Would feel so good?

As we step on the broken
Roads of North Tacoma
After being on the shore

Of points and ways
On the south Puget Sound
I can see from here

Federal Way
Far out in the distance
...
