On Holiday
april 29, 2018
On holiday, I breathe
A wandering mind,
Late nights, and daytime heat
Keep me in bed til noon
Alone, with my dreams
On holiday, I relax
Sleeping in and
Enjoying the comfort of
A bed I didn’t make
Alone, at last
On holiday, I lament
Time lost beneath sheets
The city bustles as I
Waste a day in bed
Alone, in a city of unfamiliar souls
On holiday, I ponder
What brought me to
This old place, new to me
Relish in the opportunity
Alone, with possibility
On holiday, I rise
Nibble fruit, slowly dress
A key turns, a door closes
A bed forgotten
Alone, for now
