As a baby I
was aware of basic needs...
A hooded bird
sat on a fence...
They are majestic giants,
each and everyone...
Standing alone
at the end of the day...
Hugging curbs he wandered,
lingering in his past life...
Pawns without a square to rest
nor does the King or Queen...
Letters in hand
riding the path...
There was a time
upon the earth...
With criminals I hang and bleed
as loved ones mourn below...
No chestnuts roasting or carols sung,
eggs shells all around...
There was a time
I heard just your call...
Dusty and dark
on the back of the shelf...
