Where They Will Find Me
I left all worldly possessions behind me
besides a few precious journals with a few blank pages
my medications and two pens thrown in my purse
I took a bus right on out of here where the grass was tall
found an abandoned victorian style house and stayed
It took the whole day to wander through the nooks and crannies
stairs and cobwebs. A full library of old, beautiful and dusty books
I grabbed an old book and a handful of pills
the stained glass window shining on me and the blue brocade couch
made a kaleidoscope of my waxy, white face and fingers
clutching the leatherbound book with it's gold trim pages
as if I'd never let go.
