Poem

"...spoken by another wearing the same ragged clothes..."

"...Distant beginning Approaching end..."

"...With no need for swords or words..."

"...Like an ocean calmed by the moon...

"...I fear what I will find..."

"...Trying to scribble over what cannot be unwritten..."

"...They come and speak to me while I am asleep..."

"...You loved me first..."

"...You walk the clouds above me..."

"...smelling something now quite dead..."

"...I'm the tears in a lukewarm beer..."

"...it's hard to argue with his success..."

"She says she wants to know me..."

"...Branch by branch, bark and roots..."

"...Not your partner but your clown..."

"...A war on a foreign soil That they did not cause..."

"...I can understand the cheering when watching fences fall..."

"...drink in the crystal darkness..."

"...too malevolent to be caught..."

"...Thinking about how much lovelier you are..."

"...Not contained by ribbons..."

"...it seemed I had been on this boat for years..."

"... Why were you born, my child?..."

"...your presence all about the room..."
