Adventure

Something different from me for today, in the spirit of being more carefree, worrying less about the little things, and taking on a child-like attitude once in a while.

Adventure

We would hitch our skirts up to our knees
and our heavy boots splashed in puddles
so briefly as we stampeded home.
And as we pulled our knee-high boots off,
uncurling our toes and spreading them by the fire,
I wish we had gathered small muddy droplets
up the length of our ivory shins -
I wish we could care less
and get a little more grubby in the name of adventure.
