Part I: Strangers

Sat on a door step

Gate opened knocking my knee
Just off to grab the neighborhood coffee

"I could make my own," he said

I looked at his tattoo

Got up and walked away

Picnic table seat in momentary heat

Black shirt and white block letters

Denim on denim

And every other momentary trend

I know but play pretend

His smile

And a playful pup

Got up and walked away

Corner seat and Brazilian sounds 

Felt sick and sipped wine

Asked me why I hadn't finished yet

Never saw the bottom of that glass
Slipped out as he asked me to stay
Just got up and walked away

Part II: Falling Leaves

Noticed my feet kicking leaves

Beginning to smell pine trees

Back to songs on repeat

Means I'm moving toward a winter beat

Yesterday it was Indian Summer

Crochet blanket with a lover

Timing and wide awake

I'm shaking a defining fate

Moments from yoga glowing

Giving up all my knowing

There's no need

-to need this body

There's no need

-to know this mind

There's no need

-to hold any longer
