last night i told you i was sad
and i hoped i wouldn’t make it
to tomorrow. this morning i looked
up at the horizon. the sky is blue
and there isn’t a cloud in the sky.
i am walking slower than i have
ever walked, slow enough that
i fall out of pace with the world.
you text me in the afternoon
that you have a surprise for me.
i know its a bouquet of flowers.
you come home with a bouquet
of flowers. i am surprised.
