Head in the Clouds


The gentle waves lap and splash
Against the brown sand 
My bare feet, unvarnished nails
White skin, unused to the sun

I always forget.
Once, on the back of a scooter
Short top, short shorts 
No sunscreen, in Cuba

I realized
I had ten minutes
Before I was burned 
To a crisp

I always forget
I may only have ten minutes
Left in this life 

I have such dreams
That lead me off and away
Head in the clouds
In tomorrow

Be here, I whisper
Enjoy these things
These people
This life
