driver/
Many times; I have sat in silence and pondered-
the way a man's right heart and left mind touched
and ignited a fury so bright,
it cried your name
over
and
over
and shone into the heavens for all to see
when the tide rose and the shores swelled with joy
and you dipped your hand into those waters and drank,
letting them course through your body
and out again
but swiftly turning your back so and back to the fields
to sew and not to reap as was done to you, once
in the waning hours of the day you felt that loss
and knew seldom what it was or how it left
thrashing upon the Porous Rocks, gasping for air
or washing away the spoils/ upon your cheek
i would have followed you to the ends of the earth-
If only you had asked
