I finally let the deflated balloon float far away this weekend. A big red one, heart shaped, full of hellium. Floating above the trees beyond Portland. Had to let her go. It became a secret, confusing, jumbled mess. To search between the lines. Too much time invested in the subliminal. I need to grab hold of today's time. Ride the waves. Cycle the roads, kayak the rivers, explore new campsites. Because one day, the body will have enough of life the way I need to live it. All the wasted time reading between the layers and words that should have been directly stated. Above the surface. I never ruled out the possibility of demons playing with my heart, mind, and soul. Good riddance! Be gone. Miles away.
