The Lonely Lion Who Was Surrounded by Tigers MAG
August 31, 2014
My lips ache
to kiss
the other side of the world
rustic buildings
colored sidewalks
exotic dances
I will never get the hang of
thick accents
freckled children
My lips ache
to kiss
a place set apart from
the waltz of office chairs
a town with no graffiti
and school buses that groan
along with their drivers
in this suburban
cage.
