I Hear the Song In Reverse
“I Hear the Song in Reverse”
You are my song
in reverse;
I real you in
like a fox on the run
with your story
between my teeth,
a cotton reel
spun on an old Singer
sewing machine
stolen and unraveling
dream moments
from your youth
and past the future,
I run I run
I see everything in
the stitches of a
spine on the
book that
is titled,
“Mine”,
but
TRUTH
be told
it is yours.
I live the life
of a Smyth Sewer
threading life stories
through loops
You are always
shimmering
inside the pocket
of my
Heart
Locked,
but running free
in the Magnet
that is my Mind
(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
everyone I have ever loved...or touched.
