Thosethegodswoulddestroytheyfirst Makemad
I know where you are,
I simply can't find you .....
alone and together
we silently sway .
You sit in the lamplight
in front of the embers,
yesterday's answers
asleep on the floor.
I sweep up the fragments
of years in the evening,
laying them gently
on top of the coals.
one bright flaring moment
alive in your pipils,
a memory burning
like dry leaves
in Autumn,
a smile on your face
that you wore when you found me
lost and alone
as I am here today.
