I hold within me all
the secrets of my time
not your time,
just my clock
not yours,
It shifts me through
the many gears
that grind on my heart
that tug at my sleeve
and lead me to,
where?
I haven’t the slightest!
The road goes ever on
and on, down from the door
where it all began
twenty three years ago
in a dry city,
and eastern city,
a Rich-land.
Twenty three years
between me and her
but twenty three years
we share all the same
My mind is the child’s
and the child’s is mine
Unity in the chaos
of an ever flowing
stream.
