i wish my mind were a vast estate

I wish my mind were a vast estate,

all steppes and forests, sunlight and shade.

Since you live rent free inside my head,

I wish that space could be resolved

onto the actual earth where you’ve played.

Unfurl my thoughts like a printed map,

Transforming memories to acres broad.

I want you to find full solace there—

not just a corner of a crowded brain,

but a landscape where you can breathe,

with enough comfort to rest,

and enough room to thrive.
