california calling
someone had it right
not sure if it was eagles or
kid rock or red hot chili peppers
I’m done here
there’s nothing left to do
except buy me some cowboy boots
and head out west
I’ve been there before
san diego and napa valley
further north to humboldt bay
nothing’s ever permanent
but this time will be different
finding myself camping atop cliffs
inevitably crumbling into the sea
january two thousand eighteen
