You felt their footsteps pacing the hall.
Reading a bible with your mother,
your father's patience grows.
-----------------------------------------------
I felt you once atop the mountain
I only know him through you,
just aquaintances, an estranged friend.
Love.
-----------------------------------------------
Though you are distant
I thought I heard your
Voice call my name from
the corners of my
dusty bedroom walls.
-----------------------------------------------
Are you here with me or are you with him in the mountains?
-----------------------------------------------
You rose up from the dirt
and spread your round roots wide
with your face towards your father
and your limbs dancing.
-----------------------------------------------
She knows all of your
dimensions
You must show her
all the faces you've been seeing
all the pages you have read
all the sins that she'll forgive.
