out here things are a little different
every one and thing takes their time
people actually hear what you have to say
so make sure you mean it
barns are shitty because they are structurally unsound
not because they just look worn and torn
at night
great gusts of wind roll across the sky in waves
crashing through the dry leaves and stiff branches
violent and unrelenting
distant thunderstorms pound their muted BOOM
lightning briefly illuminating
clouds, acres, and rain
the misty half moon spell
over all of this
i close my eyes
and hear the ocean
