If I had three lives,
I'd marry you in two.
The other? Perhaps that life over there
at Starbucks, sitting alone, writing - a memoir,
maybe a novel or this poem. No kids, probably,
a small apartment with a view of the river,
and books - lots of books, and time to read.
Friends to laugh with, and a man sometimes,
for a weekend, to remember what skin feels like
when it's alive.
I'd be thinner in that life, vegan,
practice yoga. I'd go to art films, farmers markets,
drink martinis in swingy skirts and big jewelry.
I'd vacation on the Maine coast and wear a flannel shirt
weekend guy left behind, loving the smell of sweat
and aftershave more than I did him.
I'd walk the beach
at sunrise, find perfect shell spirals and study pockmarks
water makes in sand. And I'd wonder sometimes
if I'd ever find you.
A/N:- Hello my beasties!!!! This is a birthday special treat for you guys hehe....This poem , as you all know, rightfully belongs to Sarah Russell....all credit goes to her.
Also don't forget to stay hydrated people!!!
