a hard day’s night

i am homesick tonight, which is strange, since i’m sitting on my back porch, trying very unsuccessfully to quit smoking, and enjoying the breeze the outdoors offers to a home without a working AC, nevermind the lime green pollen mist wafting about me in an all-embracing hug from mother nature. i wonder if i breathe out deeply and slowly and in your direction, will you feel a brush of wind behind your ear? i hope so. i miss you tonight, your rain and lightning replaced by mildness and quiet. it’s been too long since you’ve been here, since i’ve been home.
