Migratory Animals
we drift doorstep to doorstep
Are you a memory or the sweat beneath my eyebrows
or the distortion of language in these memories?
I couldn't say the words like you
a repetition in anger and not in devotion
and I couldn't find comfort in sleep
where you visit me as a ghost
migratory animal
Are you looking for a home?
is there anything salvageable from your old nests
If I had found you, I would have held your heart
on my palm
my voice would have been the breeze above your dreams
have you found your home yet
far beyond the horizon where the mountains meet the sea
These days, I am nowhere to be found
migratory animal
have you found me yet
I cannot glue myself together
much longer
come
find me
