True Bravado
My heart, home of the brave
washing machine tumbling and rumbling.
Enough to get myself going on that bus
to somewhere i can never imagine
no matter how naked we can be
Father, among you, within you, but never without you.
Father, I present to you, this week’s raw beige litany.
Father, find me, among myself. Find the end of the yarn and draw me closer to the other end.
“Readying to bury your father and your mother,
What did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder why did you bother,
Distanced from one, blind to the other?
Listen here, my sister and my brother
What would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder why did we bother,
Distanced from one, deaf to the other”
-”Sweetness Follows”- R.E.M.
I am not deaf to you Father.
