Let’s drive to a new route this afternoon, please.
Hammersmith Barnes Roehampton Putney Fulham Earls Court
I’d like to watch the fall leaves fall,
time and space to feel a hurting soul,
because to feel so is the first step,
giving your walls enough strength to brave through winter:
this damn circumstance sold to you,
and to peel off the
dead layers you succumbed to
and later watch a smile bloom.
