Text For Tired Eyes:

Adventure they crave, and me
longing for simplicity.
Wake me, softly,
and with a calendar blank,
bored, look and ask how we
will spend the day.
Planes boarded with stamps
in passport books, feet worn
from uneven streets
and jetlagged wandering,
and all I want is breakfast shared,
or the quiet peeling of a book
off your sleeping chest
on a Thursday evening
before the Spring rains fall.
I know the beat of a frantic heart,
of lost and mapless and stained
with the scents of far away,
I know the back alleys of distant cities,
but will you teach me of home?
I want a hand held on moonless nights,
and an ear to share the squeaking sound
of broken wheels on grocery carts.
I want to stop walking around the mattress
to put the clean sheets on.
I want the mundane, and the grand adventure
that lives in finding all that’s miraculous,
hiding inside it.
