A Thousand Miles from Kansas

Patio Unwind

Often my thoughts wander into melancholy on my back patio.

1–2 minutes
, , 
Watching wheels with John
a rush of melancholy
pictures flood my mind . 


Shiner tamps my thoughts
Kelly Joe scrapes at my soul
Motherless Children.


Lost in confusion
I shake my head and step off
the merry-go-round.
