Re-Call
Yes, I did all that and more.
I was the head of a stampede,
I became the horns.
No, she over-exaggerates,
she killed me before I killed her.
The world was too small
for my parade,
I had to hire more horses and clowns.
I was an astronaut without a spacesuit,
just an umbilical noose,
until starlight ate through it.
Yes I saw it all,
all the other witnesses were
old flames in fireproof dreams.
I have never had much guilt,
I have preferred to travel
with the dangerous.
That long goodnight
will not find me weeping.
