"I should have gone with you.
 
My chest is the boat tempted
by the ocean floor,
and I am frantic;
hauling out water
by the teaspoon. 
I should have gone with you;
I should have been brave enough
to disappear into the trees 
and empty streets,
and have the courage
to grab the life
I’ve wanted.
 
Somewhere, we park the car,
open the windows, and fall asleep
looking at the stars,
your warmth wrapped around me
and we fall in love with the smell of dirt
and the desert sun.
Tomorrow doesn’t scare us
and we have nowhere to be.
 
I wonder if it’s possible
to misplace your fate."
