No Rescue

Civil war :
Again you are visiting 
the childhood.A green pond.

Smoke filled eyes ask, what 
was a home ?

A black city of white hills.
You were climbing on dreams 
to reach a baby moon.

And the night 
was very long, like a bad name
you cannot spell.

The anthills, fireflies and
snakes. You are still lost
in cobwebbed age.

Pawned :
After books there were no other
tales.
