November 15, 2010Meadows touch me,
seagulls circled around singing
yet I’m starless,
they are not your arms.
I’ve forgotten
my mother’s maiden
name, wonder about
aimlessly in a daze, one
into nothing
equals infinity,
a tired monologue.
I think about the angels
that accompany you.
When did you say
they’ll let you return?
