~Rainer Maria Rilke

I am just a dandelion, a weed they say,
Blow gently and see what I can do,
For I am full of wishes along with dreams
That one day could come true.

Better Drunk Than Wasted

We ran hot
and spilled out over the Chattahoochee,
past the drowned caves.
We turned left at the border...
