Wishing You Were Here

Foolishness pays a visit.

I am here to feel the wind in my ears. 

I stand straight, look ahead, feel the air around me, 

The words in my mouth slowly circle in an oral darkness. 

They are voiced inside me like a journal entry or a secret to myself.

I turn 180 degrees, smile like the shine in the sun. 

I'm lured into these ridiculous moments because I can. 

I just wish you could be here with me.
