|
<p>a voyage to the deeps of my grandmother's basement<br />
|
||
|
|
where I was born in the fog and the mist<br />
|
||
|
|
in the midst of a dying god's death throes<br />
|
||
|
|
marking the genesis of my woes</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>you and I sit a whole world away<br />
|
||
|
|
while in the wires tangled around my wrists we play<br />
|
||
|
|
neither here nor there nor anywhere</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>sometimes I wonder if the best of my days are gone<br />
|
||
|
|
swept up in the wind and scattered to the horizon<br />
|
||
|
|
the only proof that this ever happened some hastily-scrawled poems<br />
|
||
|
|
and photographs of the places where we breathed<br />
|
||
|
|
and blushing pink flower petals, pressed in these pages for all time</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Independence Park, where the clouds used to go by,<br />
|
||
|
|
as a newborn, you cradled me tight and then watched me fly<br />
|
||
|
|
now, as I yearn to go back and remember who I am<br />
|
||
|
|
will you sing me one last lullaby?</p>
