In April I wake to birds calling to spring and rain, slow and steady, nudging the tulips. In the gray of my morning walk, the forsythia are moments of sunshine against the monotone of clouds — blossoms tumbling down the hillside like children laughing. by Sarah Russell

If I Had Three Lives

After 'Melbourne' by the Whitlams If I had three lives, I'd marry you in two. And the other? That life over there at Starbucks, sitting alone, writing — a memoir, maybe a novel or this poem. No kids, probably, a small apartment with a view of the river, and books — lots of books — and time to read. Friends to laugh with; a man sometimes, for a weekend, to remember what skin feels like when it's alive. I'm thinner in that life, vegan, practice yoga. I go to art films, farmers markets, drink martinis in swingy skirts and big jewelry. I vacation on the Maine coast and wear a flannel shirt weekend guy left behind, loving the smell of sweat and aftershave more than I do him. I walk the beach at sunrise, find perfect shell spirals and study pockmarks water makes in sand. And I wonder sometimes if I'll ever find you.

If I Had Three Lives

If I had three lives, I’d marry you in two.

The other? Perhaps that life over there

at Starbucks, sitting alone, writing — a memoir,

maybe a novel or this poem. No kids, probably,

a small apartment with a view of the river,

and books — lots of books, and time to read.

Friends to laugh with, and a man sometimes,

for a weekend, to remember what skin feels like

when it’s alive. I’d be thinner in that life, vegan,

practice yoga. I’d go to art films, farmers markets,

drink martinis in swingy skirts and big jewelry.

I’d vacation on the Maine coast and wear a flannel shirt

weekend guy left behind, loving the smell of sweat

and aftershave more than I did him. I’d walk the beach

at sunrise, find perfect shell spirals and study pockmarks

water makes in sand. And I’d wonder sometimes

if I’d ever find you.

          After "Melbourne" by the Whitlams

If I had three lives, I'd marry you in two. And the other? That life over there at Starbucks, sitting alone, writing—a memoir, maybe a novel or this poem. No kids, probably, a small apartment with a view of the river, and books—lots of books—and time to read. Friends to laugh with; a man sometimes, for a weekend, to remember what skin feels like when it's alive. I'm thinner in that life, vegan, practice yoga. I go to art films, farmers markets, drink martinis in swingy skirts and big jewelry. I vacation on the Maine coast and wear a flannel shirt weekend guy left behind, loving the smell of sweat and aftershave more than I do him. I walk the beach at sunrise, find perfect shell spirals and study pockmarks water makes in sand. And I wonder sometimes if I'll ever find you.

A poem by Sarah Russell

If I Had Three Lives

             After “Melbourne” by the Whitlams

If I had three lives, I’d marry you in two. The other? Perhaps that life over there at Starbucks, sitting alone, writing – a memoir, maybe a novel or this poem. No kids, probably, a small apartment with a view of the river, and books – lots of books, and time to read. Friends to laugh with, and a man sometimes, for a weekend, to remember what skin feels like when it’s alive. I’d be thinner in that life, vegan, practice yoga. I’d go to art films, farmers markets, drink martinis in swingy skirts and big jewelry. I’d vacation on the Maine coast and wear a flannel shirt weekend guy left behind, loving the smell of sweat and aftershave more than I did him. I’d walk the beach at sunrise, find perfect shell spirals and study pockmarks water makes in sand. And I’d wonder sometimes if I’d ever find you.
