variegated vines grow over the signs and up the steps, over the windows and the doors.
to hide and forget the past
the well wasn’t always dry. it once rained in the spring time, and i’d cover myself over with leaves.
to hide and forget the past
i drew make believe, under bare feet i’d grass stain jeans. i had make believe friends. from sheets i’d build our home.
through meadow streets and forest caves. the days that yellow with memory.
i trust my eyes to see more than there is. more than i can afford.
it’s buttons and riches made of buttons and nails. my pulse races for these things.
my pulse still races for these things.
and i grow older but not without an appreciation for the simple things.
through meadow streets and forest caves. the days that yellow with memory.
my pulse still races for these things.

wearing patterns in the carpet, hours pacing a small apartment as i’m going through it all again.
it’s impossible to recover all pieces. course, choked, whispering.
the candle wick takes its first breath of cool night air, the room goes black. course, choked, whispering.
lips spewing smoke into yellow ceilings, last nerves hours past spent
it’s impossible to recover all pieces. course, choked, whispering.
disarming words from an answering machine. if anyone is home. if anyone can hear this. i’m doing fine, but i’m not coming back. i’m finding my own way.

Does the chest held in your hands still hold onto hope?
Isn't that just like you. Such a deadpan, Dorabella Cipher
A message lost in code all that's known is your signature
If that's the only means to get the message through
How will you write your name?
With a C for Cesar Chavez?
Or an H, for our beloved Harriet?
An A for Armenia and the N of Nigeria
A G for Guerrilla and an E to Escape
They’ll all remember your name, when your name is Change?
Latin based, liberty etched across your scroll
400 years has buried the meaning, a symbol not synonymous with the word
Everywhere your touch and the headline W - A - R
How will you write your name?
With a C for Cesar Chavez?
Or an H, for our beloved Harriet?
An A for Armenia and the N of Nigeria
A G for Guerrilla and an E to Escape
Who will be the one to clear your name
Will the world forgive the past, when your name is change
