Lighthouse

Forgive me,

I've been travelling for a while now,

And I’m afraid maybe

I mistook you for a lighthouse. 

The road is long and
I’ve been practicing the art of  

holding my camera out at arm’s length
To self-document these new locations
When I should be leaning against you
Deciding on things to get done...
And you should be leaning on fountains
And filling my space up, 

and breathing the air from my lungs.

Forgive me,

I've been travelling for a while now,

And I’m afraid maybe

I mistook you for a lighthouse.
