Sometimes I just like to think about what an ideal place would be if I could be anywhere, and usually its just sunsets on a hill. So yea. Written in 2021.

there was a snake bathing in the sunset
draped around the veins, the dead branches
winter never welcomes reptiles
but it wore twilight like a heat lamp jacket

back flat, tobacco treat burning sweet
the switchgrass swayed like waves in wind
the blades carried my wading body as it bobbed
and swayed to the scent of serenity

lavender and apricot bled in the sky
a marriage of pastels to perfect this pastiche
this is art incarnate none could ever reach
so please don't let me wake from this tranquil dream
