Bee Dance

Last night ...
As I waited 
for sleep
to come for me,
I began to imagine
Me as a bee
Buzzing
and
Dancing
the instructional
directional
interpretive dances.
You know ....
Those bee dances
Sharing the
Way and where 
of the new 
Honey sources?
But my dance
Would direct
others to 
Dreamland.
Sweet sticky amber
Dreamland

Fears

 Forever Stuck

But ...
it might be ...
it could be ...
it must be ...
an imposition
an interruption
an intrusion
a mistake.

A Gathering ...

We come together, 
from hither and thither,
one by one,
each with our strand of yarn,
a strand we've 
held and treasured,
but now it's time to 
weave something 
new together 
we can all take home to share
and share
and share again ...

Incredible

It's incredible, isn't it?
Here I am before you
Appearing like a real life adult.
All the correct parts
A pleasant expression
Yet ...
Beneath this quiet exterior
Are two nine year olds
One standing on the other's shoulders
Both doing their nine year old best
to keep the illusion alive.

I Erred

I erred
A delightful err
And now ...
Harry's crooning
The Moonbeam Song
On repeat
As I drift off to sleep.

Now I See ...

It took this catalyst
A lifetime
But
Now I see ...
It wasn't only the shove
Off the lap
It was the insult
And humilation
Of the basement

Low

Low 
Low is the toilet 
In my eldest brother's house. 
Each gathering I fear 
The next indelicate 
Landing will find me 
Exposed In my eldest brother's basement.

We drove back to old home again

Those who came before
It's in our faces

Clan fam kith kin
We drove back to old home again
Clan fam kith kin

The Lie

The lie weighs heavy
The lie lies
So still
It doesn't grow
It needs no food
Yet some that fall
Within the lie's shadow
Become
Pale as shadows
So still
The lie lies
The lie weighs heavy

Sometimes

Sometimes
a stroll into the past
Might bring illumination
A realization
Something new
Something missed
An epiphany
Then understanding
Coupled
With frustration
Irritation
Indignation
And a wish
A desire
An ignorant belief
That YOU
YOU
Might have changed
Your history
Silly you
You were but a child.
