I find breath
Long drives
Full tank
Pacific Coast Highway
Malibu
Easy traffic
Breeze
Roots
Rakim
Guru
Lyte
Latifah
La Havas
Badu
My shoulders fall
Inhale deepens
Long walks
Sand
Water
Shells
Adele
Winehouse
Mvula
Hathaway
Nikon
Red sky
Blue
Gray
Birds
Old churches
Tall buildings
Stairs
Sunflower lined pathways
Alleys
Sade
Green
Aretha
Wonder
Kissing couples
Strangers on bus stops
Art on walls
Poetry on sidewalks
Windows
Stop signs
Initials carved in bark
Alone
I need alone
With my whole self
Trees
I need trees
Willow
Palm
Whispering leaves
Wiping 'way
Clouds
I need water
Wet running over my head
Heat on my back
Moon
I need moon
Rub my cheek my chin
Till I sleep
Mahalia
Clarence Carter
Johnnie Guitar
Chamomile
Peppermint
Jasmine
Nina
Gil
Gregory Porter
Sleep
I need sleep
Please
Please sleep
All the way through sleep
Anita
Winans
Cleveland
Poetry
Prayer
Drum
Bass
Covers to my nose
Pillows under my neck
Lilies
Tangerines
Soup
I need soup
And song
And words
Words so touch
Reach
So forgive
Grab
Melodies so wrap 'round my gut
Well me to the
Day
