Trip Planning

Syllables spill over each other, like
children rolling down a hill in summer;
my tongue twirls around pins and needles,
suddenly awake and ready to run.
Anticipation zings in energy through me
sifting my footprints into color-coded categories
to create the perfect itinerary, unique
and essential elements balanced and spun.
Four hummed months climbing to a kiss
at the top of the Spanish Steps.
