Missing Persons
I can easily find time for it to cradle me.
To fondle my ears, throat and lungs.
It voices the most courageous chants.
Tearing me up and ashes and dust.
I whimper only the slightest.
It is my father, my lover, my hand in joy.
Tomorrow I will see another sun, and the morrow after that no light for the eyes.
I listen closely to it's insane emotions.
I'm dripping with sweat as it begins another story.
One I've heard so many times before.
Now I grow passionate, excited and a bit weak.
Not tat that has puddles to do with it.
Forgotten who I am, where I'm going.
Did I enjoy weapons, chemistry, architecture or poetry?
I recall... or no... I don't recall at all.
