Been a long time (2)

Life has a strange way of familiarizing itself with the self . It can take a tiny gesture from a stranger or the discolored leaf falling from the tree overlooking your garden.
That’s when life says “hello, where have you been?”
In the eyes of your father when he punished you and the repentance dripped from his eyes and was reflected in yours.
In the eyes of your mother when she sold her jewelry to save your school year.
Guilt or payback when you handed in your report card


Too many things have passed and things have become blurred or clearer.
I donot know.
It’s been a long while
Maybe its time to turn on the defogger and look at things in the rear view mirror …

Yes

Once in the aeon
Of times long past
Thus scribed the ghost
There was love

When Adam chose Eve
And Eve chose Adam
For her sin
For their sin
There was love

Much too late there were
Encumbrances and relationships
Twitter and face-booked
Lined and ready
Primed and kleened
Sandstone changing color

The madness of life encountered
In a multitude of colors
Red and green and blue for good measure
Swirling clouds of grey and black
The mind spoke many languages
And you translated them into lime
And betel nut and the colored spit leaves

In my dreams there bespoke
Two lights and a dream
Lots of fine silk and a wavy
Dream
In my breath there was a silhouette
Of a wolf
Preying on a weak mind
Yes feed feed feed
