Leaving Kansas Poem by David Kowalczyk

Leaving Kansas

Rating: 4.7


Rambunctious August night,
teeming with sweating fireflies
and hypnotic Klezmer music.


I leap out of bed
and open the window.
Satars the size of dimes
shoot into the room.


A tiny pain squeezes my heart.
I am bleeding.
I am bleeding.


I must change my life.
My tribe lives by dreams,
not by compromise.


Clicking the radio on,
I hear George Shearing
dancing on the moon.
