#still somehow

[jdaviswords]

Home

Spent a few

south of the border

halfway between

a Home

and a Carolina breeze

I've known a few

north of the border

however

the differences

are clear

as if I was waiting here

the whole time

It must've been seven

times I thought about you

the April two'll getcha

boppin around

impersonating the Bunny

actin funny

hollerin hootin

spankin around muddy

buuuuhddy

Ha

It makes life worth it

the experiences I mean

lacerated with spontaneity

amazingly heavenly

we should

watch it fall

collectively

Incubus hums louder

than the rumble strips

outside my Rogue

as I trek back

to familiarity

I thought you

should know that

I spent enough times

trying to Dig

out the better

part of me

and good golly

I feel it

coming up abruptly

And I know I know

Imma bit synically

driven to demise

but goshn golly

I suppose the southern hospitality

got me feelin

a certain type of way

the brightest of days

are ahead

I think

as I spend

the next

ten hours

staring deeper

into the headlights

than the Tahitian Blue

...infinitely reminded of you

& because you aren’t here (won’t ever, again, be here) to cover my mouth, I’ll confess, out loud, my love, so maybe perhaps, you will hear me & join me, here where the sun is sweet against the water & because I love you, I will gut this distance with nostalgia, because grief can taste of sugar if you run your tongue along the right edge,

Not actually food (sorry for that), but I’d say, still somehow impressive: My daily Latte Macchiato building. Check this blog!
