Leaving

Music: "Birthday Song" by Noyce

Two days ago, I graduated from Muhlenberg College. Now, I am back in my back yard, with the leaves.

I'd like to think
that I have true roots
that I can uncoil upwards
branching my veins
just like the fern.

Note to self: bug spray.

PS: Don't mind the gauze taped to my arm. It's covering up poison ivy.
