The Clearing

the clearing was large enough to fit about twelve of your Lion King themed picnic blankets without coming close to the forest’s edge. I thought about bringing you out there and telling you that and then I remembered that you got rid of the blanket 2 months ago when your new boyfriend said that Lion King was overrated and the blanket had too many holes in it. I would never have the guts to tell you this in person but maybe someday you’ll come across this poem and know that if you ever want to spread out 12 new Lion King themed picnic blankets in a clearing I will be there with chicken salad sandwiches and 6 of those pineapple cinnamon ciders you love.
