I’ve been here before
when I was younger
and still ricocheted off the concrete.
Now, I lie like a stone
and calculate the risks
in standing back up,
of leaving the permanence of pavement,
and joining the long line of feet
walking over me
towards that unknown horizon.
About Heidi Stauff
Ultimately ending up in Atlanta, Heidi's creative impulses followed many paths. She delivered middle-class, white-girl, angst to tens and twenties of Generation-Xers through the now defunct rock-band, Belljar. She designed hundreds of dresses for Disney-bound little girls. She birthed two babies she now homeschools, lost and then found her faith again, and writes about all of it in her free time: which is usually after midnight with a glass or three of wine.
Good to see your posts again, Heidi. ❤
