Set

i am ready for a new city

where dogs run free

and not even the dust settles.

i am ready for a new city

of honey, ripe berries in small hands,

dressed in sensible cotton.

i am ready for a new city

on the edge of an ocean, where we all drink deep from the same well,

and marvel at our differences.

i am ready for a new city.

my plan, to fly there in this familiar skin

and wake up small, and unafraid.
