i doubt it

could i move

for love.

relocate, pick up my stakes

and say

adios

to this house, this neighborhood,

my friends.

could i say goodbye

to the woods

beyond the fence,

the stream.

the path i visit daily.

could i leave

this place i've made

my own,

for love, for that

elusive dream?

maybe.

we'll see, 

but i doubt it.
