Poem 53

october wind, muted pain

dripping, dripping

red clots on the floorboards

i have no favourites, i really don’t

you claim

but in fine print

you always choose a few

when the ordeal was over

my parents went to pick up my clothes

and i never went back

to the longed warmness

in truth unexistent

a mirage

flying high

800 miles per hour

a vertical takeoff

thundering through the sky

nothing on land

mum and child

long gone

it’s life, i know

and your baby is grown up now

she found peace

and solace in dancing

whilst you still tour around

looking to find

a place to belong to

by the river you tried to settle

even if i’ve taken you out

sightseeing mason wonders

and see you soon

you whispered

on a rainy night embrace

with old songs holding us 

so far,

restlessness and fear own
