Titled: Unpopular opinion I don't want to travel

I want roots so deep they mingle with the earths core

I want community so strong we build our own everythings together

I want to know the land on which I live with the deepest of intimacy

I want to stay so grounded and still

I want a solid home, 4 walls and a veggie patch, that I forget to weed somedays because I was weeding Sallys next door

I want a lover I never have to cross seas or fight flights to be with

I was to erase chase from my vocabulary, and to never know what it's like to chase something that wasn't mine again

I want my children to know the land their mother bled on

I want my heart to know stability and dads not going away for work

I want my children to write stories under the tree their placenta was buried below

I want to sing and drum to the same river for years to come

I want my fingertips to stay intertwined with your beard every rising and every dawn

I want my feet to memorise the way to the creek

I want my lips to meet yours everyday without a doubt

I want to forget the taste of jetlag and the dry breaths of airplanes

I want my belly full of giggles and pie.
