PARTING POEM by KIT ARMSTRONG

After Brad Paisley, “Ticks”
Every atmosphere                         you bottle to your lips
was the other half                  of an idea. Let’s get out of
drive, find a moonlight,           kiss a path I used to keep.
The only thing we get is                 home; I’ve got what I
want. I’d like to walk                     places that are hard to
reach; I’d like to                                     walk sure to you.
