| In The Rain |
the moai watch forever
from the shores of
easter island
and the pyramids
will soon be swallowed
up by desert sand.
I know that someday
I will go to meet
the wonders of my past
and when I know
where I am wanted,
I will stay.
Emotion
has no business
with the matters
of the mind
and intellectuals
should stay away
from dealings
of the heart.
but they will find
their places-
like a chessboard lined
with marble figurines.
Like these walls
that keep me
outside looking in-
This will be the last time
that I fall for this trick,
I am not
the one who started this-
I'll leave before it's over...
and though
I never know
quite where to stand
to catch a glimpse
beyond the looking glass-
When I know
where I am needed
I will stay. |
