Poem

something tells me
I have to leave this place
unremembered

the wind smells foul
the grass has changed color
the shrine is now a Clubhouse
and the Diviner has lost his memory  
where do you find blessing
when everything stands still

where do you find blessing 
when the trees are dead
and beneath them are 
decaying bones 
of passersby 

whom do you call 
when the gas stove in the Tower is leaking
and the Door of the Refrigerator
stained with rust
to whom do you turn
when the air you breathe
belongs to Someone

what do you do
when it is raining
and the roof has curved in on you  
what will you say 
when the brick Wall has lost its battle
with the Rain

where do you go
when the stairwell to the King’s chamber 
slops to a dagger-point
and tongues groan and sing 
in glutton voices 

with whom will you stand  
when the mugs on the table are ugly
and maggots dance round it 
in steps
to dark unfathomed caves

where do you find blessing 
when there is laughter inside the kitchen
yet you hear no footsteps 

something tells me
I have to leave this place
unremembered
and tell it all to my pillow 
my only friend
                              (Xenia, 08/22/2011)
