Not much

I don’t need

By bonnie bairdPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I don’t need much

a small room under a skylight where the moon can pour in

sharing over a meal at the end of the day sieving strands of meaning from chaos and noise

a few feet of bed, enough to lay flat on when my hips hurt, to turn away from whoever isn’t there

I prefer small now, choose it over and over again over breadth of space

something I can tuck myself into, look out of through luminous eyes

About the Creator

bonnie baird

Enjoy playing with words; have since I was five. Usually gravitate to poetry (free verse) but now blurring the line between poetry and prose, combining both in some pieces. Enjoy reading creative writing of all sorts.
