“Same”- sounds safe.
Almost easy
Because When I wake up everyday, I knew
I knew what tomorrow held
So used was I
My heart racing with excitement, I impatiently waited for a response
When the phone in my hand buzzed, I giggled involuntarily
And eagerly opened the new message
So fragile, I feel like I am glass
About to break, about to crash
The sun here all day, and gone in a flash
Taking in the fresh scent of freshly-mowed grass
Laughing and playingBarefoot, hair flailingSurpassing fear, Climbing treesRunning wild and chasing dreams
a Taxi to Jerusalem - for Dinna
Dinna of Denmark you were my darlingWalking in your leather sandalsDown the dirty Via Dolorosa
Facing the dedication plaque of The East Coast Memorial in Battery Park,sat a navy spiral bound with a worn post-it note upon the cover.Head slightly tilted, I scoff at the carelessness of some kids.
