I. Lost
For now, awhile, I won’t let you pull me from the wreckage
But, how you hold my hand, for both of us
Until the jaws of life arrives/
Tho’ I’m not at a lost of words, I’m lost
In thought, “I’m lost”, I thought,
“And hiding from the hidden costs.”
I’ll dare to speak of sparrows
in shrapnel filled WW I battlefield winds,
in sharp scarlet dawns
they’ll sing to find their kind
if they’ve lived,
a song will find its way back,
between the blood & budding daybreak
it could be/ a branch of a tree
perched at a high hill
would have a new bud just
breaking through/ it would be just for you
and in time a blossom. You’d just
lift yr arm up/ and pull it down/ just in time
to drink it through
with yr deepest stealing breath.///
