The Places You Would Go


Noticing the difference between
a pensive stare
and a focused one,
just in the way your eyes lay, your gaze
transfixed on a point that I can't always see.

Thinking about your heart
and how close the beats must be now
to the shallow breaths that youve been taking.
Now, watch as my breath
falls to fill with yours.

Wondering what it would take
to bring your mind back
to where your body is.
At the same time wishing that I could be
in the very place your thoughts are taking you.

Curious as to where you would go,
wishing either of us knew the way to get there.



for Granny... we miss you.
