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.

Clan fam kith kin

We drove back to old home again

Clan fam kith kin

Family sees

Those who came before

It's in our faces

Voice

Eyes

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.
