Needing a map

The philosophy and otherwise irrelevant ramblings of a struggling poet.

Thursday, August 05, 2004

I found an old one. I don't know if it will go into here the way I want it to. In some ways, the lay out is important, but not so terribly so that it cannot be foregone, and I don't know how to alter it in html to make it look the way it's supposed to look...

Picking up Peace

Upon instruction
I look back
in faith
See how far I’ve come
Study past mistakes
Wait for lessons learned
Watching carefully, I see
a life
replayed
Lonely, tired of ghosts
Of past,
of present,
of yet to come
Belonging to someone else—
Another person’s bones
And closets full of skeletons
Picking through the pieces
Paste them into shapes
Unpacking my life
Room by room
Box by box
Looking for that faith
Around corners
Down halls
In cubbyholes
Anticipating the appearance
The arrival
Of me—
Separated.
