Laying down in the park with you,
looking at clouds
while the world fell apart.
Asking questions.
Drawing conclusions.
This is how I want you to remember me...
How I looked up and dreamed.
and not for who I was with my head down,
in the noise-
surviving
struggling to improve life
losing sight of important things
...forgetting to live.
***
we watched the earth turn,
from brittle coal to blurry diamonds.
