The Clearing
the clearing was large enough to fit about
twelve of your Lion King themed picnic
blankets without coming close to the forest’s
edge. I thought about bringing you out there
and telling you that and then I remembered
that you got rid of the blanket 2 months ago
when your new boyfriend said that Lion King
was overrated and the blanket had too many
holes in it. I would never have the guts to tell
you this in person but maybe someday you’ll
come across this poem and know that if you
ever want to spread out 12 new Lion King
themed picnic blankets in a clearing I will be
there with chicken salad sandwiches and 6
of those pineapple cinnamon ciders you love.
