I WANNA GET AWAY
Updated: Nov 7
I wanna get away
I wanna head out of this city
I wanna run to the hills with my arms in the air and my tits unstrapped
No bra, linen shirt, breeze brushing through my hairy pits
I wanna stand barefoot in the grass
Where sharp blades slice between my clammy toes
Feeling fresh, cold, wet, black soil curling up against my heated arch
I wanna dance and twist in the high wheat fields
Out there where the amber sunset blinds my eyes like sharp stings
But I keep looking, for those sharp stings pinch my soul and remind me to be more
ELECTRIFYING
I wanna smell the crispy, crisp air
That air with the wondrous ability to refresh my spirit
To set me free
I wanna sit on the frame of an old abandoned Ford
Stuck out in the middle of nowhere
Full of rust and mud and memories
Laughing with friends and drinking bathtub moonshine
I wanna sit on that frame for hours
Until it’s so dark that I can’t see my hand in front of my face
Until every little murmur
Echoes off of every little thing around me
I wanna crawl back to the campsite
Laughing and giggling and afraid
as I whisper to a friend, “What was that?!”
And “SHHHHH! I think it’s over there!”
I want real time in real time
And I want your face in my FaceTime
And I want the sunshine
FUCK! I want the fucking sunshine!
But mostly,
I want to sit in the dirt with my friends
I want to tell them how much I love them
And with every laugh and every joke
I’ll show them
That THIS
THIS
Is our time together
Our time
Out
In the woods.
