Eighteen

Drinking unicorn kisses
& unravelled simplicities
My heart has been longing
but I can’t say what for
As the clouds billow and furl
the sun slicing the afternoon
like grief does my mood

I’ve been missing somebody
I barely knew
I’ve been missing myself
How I was in my youth

Picnic dates in the park beside a busy street
It’s peace in a boat on the rocky sea
I sit, beside myself, my memory
All that is
isn’t what it seems
