Diamonds of My Mind

-The Diamonds of My Mind- Even if you call my name this is not me you see looking back. I see the reflection of the someone who needs convincing. The diamonds of my mind remember me from before Everything about me is bespoke I’m the one who stole last place. It’s not me anymore I don’t want my lovers back They know now like me there’s only one secret left Hidden in the mystery, the changing memories life leaves behind. But, is it me this morning walking like an old man while no one is looking. I’m the one who jumped out of airplanes, I hiked the Tetons, I dove into a raging Missouri River, and had a Yellowstone Grizzly stand up in front of my convertible flex his nails, then lumber off. Ask Virginia Smart or Jeanie. Now these aches are the last real connection, to a voluble past Each has a story to tell.
