like rolling down a hill into heather
or running barefoot through the corn
the pebbles just roll off my tongue
they plop into the brook so the water
rises and slowly covers my feet

how many needles does it take
to weigh down the pines
how much silver would it take
to thread them all
why is there a toad
at the bottom
of every empty well

a myth is nothing mysterious
meaningless or ambiguous
someone once dreamt she was me
sometimes you pay the price
for giving things away for free

what would it take
for you to kick off your shoes and run
what is keeping you from being
what you were meant to be
when the ripe peaches fall
will you be there to catch them

sometimes wishes don’t come true
even when we wait
we don’t know the reasons why
what will you say
when they finally find me
