Inside this box A life Of false starts and shattered hopes Of empty promises And loneliness so thick that cardboard edges weep with it
So close to a fulfilled dream Do you even want it anymore Do you want Anything
Not the cold want of consumerism But the want of life Of greenness exploding from soft earth Of human feet on distant lands Of lungs breathing alien air
Of a life expanding ever outward from this box Outside this box A life
An American expat living in Sweden. I teach middle school science, have four amazing children, the best partner anyone could ask for, and not enough dogs. The dog we do have at the moment, a beautiful mutt of pointer, husky, and border collie, is one of the sweetest creatures to grace this planet.
I am busy trying to get better at teaching and writing.
