Wishes for 2021 

May you forget your curfew
May you use your hands to care again
May you sink into the sands without wondering when to gasp for air
May you run
May you run
May you run a 1000 miles
Until you come across a chalk line that indicates that this is not the end, unless you want it to be.
May you remember where, in the long grass, your lovers are waiting for you.
May you get up, fall asleep
May there be nights when your dreams fit
When you can open the wrong door and be admitted by a stranger
May you talk until you forget where you were heading for.
May you add a new name to your birthday calendar
Knowing you don’t have to stay, but could
May you be able to wash your hands of your chapped skin
May you laugh into someone’s arm pit until you cry
May you remember what it was like, before you knew what was yet to come
May you remember where the chalk line was before the rains came
