the truth of light

words from...

I opened Paris' letter
mama it's been three days ...

not the happy kind
unregretfully
the kind that spells gloom
sobs of tears roll down my face
uncontrollably...

O albatross guide my loosed soul  
from the shipwreck seized by sandy shoal

on wings that span horizons...
