Places Passing By
Paige Keller
Sitting on a patio sipping tea under the sun, writing notes into
my phone through the breeze. Imagining different days and new
ways to live - a place where I am me, whomever she is.
Some place where you walk by and we are reintroduced for the
very first time. Your eyes and mine. Our minds far away and
familiar - different now but two souls the same.
A breath of nostalgia and suddenly there’s a smell that I can
almost pinpoint but can never place. I imagine an embrace and a
deep inhale of your essence but say hey - I stay seated.
I’m not quite sure if you’re thinking the same or counting the
seconds till you can turn and walk off - to the better places
you’ve found while I was drifting
so
far
away.

Mentioned in this episode:
One Poem Only submissions are open.
I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
