the sun outside
bouncing off the windows of car hoods and puddles
the light like swords spearing out the early summer day
and my life back in two short weeks.
tonight i graduated from my twenties
and to have the mountains back after school
to have my art time back after school
is like watering a starving plant.
i shall wriggle up to the sky,
the juices back in my leaves and the spring back in my step.
sometimes you lose moments and can't get them back.
