so a girl goes to the prairie and calls it coming home, and the prairie laughs

& spits her out 50 years later and she is mad as all hell so she burns the entire prairie down while it is sleeping.

so a girl goes to the prairie and it begs her to stay but she has a boyfriend and a job and a cat at home so she declines

& it bows its head and weeps while it can still weep and the girl apologizes for not staying and the prairie apologizes for getting tears on her shirt.

so a girl goes to the prairie with a sawed off shotgun, and a box of instant ramen, and two hundred and thirty seven books

& she sits against a tree and reads until it grows around her like the coating of an m&m and if you go out there you can still see her.

so a girl goes to the prairie and it embraces her lightly like she’s broken it’s heart before

& she clings to it tight like she’s already betrayed it and they sing until they can sleep again.

so a girl goes to the prairie and it calls her it’s soulmate

& she calls it one true love so she comes back every afternoon after work and waters the plants that don’t get enough and kisses the wildlife on the snout and breaks up with her boyfriend.

so a girl goes to the prairie, walks around for a little while, walks out, and never comes back.
