A Letter To Hd
"A LETTER TO H.D."
July 2, 2018.
hello H.D.
thank you for finding me in
the middle of my existence.
you know where I came from.
it usually hurt to look back
but telling you about every
detail my life was made up of
took away that pain. most
never get it, they call it
life and that’s an insult. my
books always had the answers
I needed but with you, my
books just took up space. you
gave my eye color a brighter
shade and made my voice
beautifully decorated. as a
kid I gathered my chains, as
an old man, you took them off
one by one. if I told anyone
that, they'd just look at me.
I've always been something
nobody wants and lays off
when there is no more work to
do in that relationship. if
people could just figure out
that there is a start to
happiness, they'd understand
it's after the rain. I put in
35 years and now, I don't
know what to do. the path we
walked pulled me out of that
place I lived in for so long
and it's given me a joy. I
write and live from an old
mind and an old beaten body.
I found this late in life but
better late than never. I owe
it to myself to see it
through. I have this feeling
inside of me that says, it'll
show, it'll show, it'll show.
oh how I've come through the
murder of myself and figured
out the best way to die. to
realize you can love without
fear, many never accomplish.
I have you to thank for that
and I look forward to your
return so you can see what
you’ve given me. don't forget
to remember to remember me.
your man;
E.
