Someday,
I hope to return
to the land where the deer
outnumber the people;
to the land where the trees
outnumber the deer;
and the humans
are a speck of voices
among the silence.
For while I admire
these background mountains
and the warm taste of empanadas
rich in culture and words;
I miss the nights
when I could look up
at the night sky
and see
the stars.
(I miss you, upperstate NY and your natural beauty. Though sorry, the bay area has you BEAT when it comes to tasty AND inexpensive food)
