Chris Baron
“Inside my skin
is the beach, and the sand,
the redwoods and pond water,
the feel of a kiss, wet on my lips,
a mountain climbed,
and fog forever,
boogie boards,
and sleeping mats,
stories and stories,
and real
friends.

None of it
heavy water.
Just me moving forward,
finding m own story.
-Ari”
