i left my heart at
a bus station, waiting in
vain for salvation.

I have lived a great deal among grown-ups.
I have seen them intimately, close at hand.
And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.

then you’re in big trouble.

Layers, who am I and what
Should I do with it?

The bloody soil of
My country and searching in
Vain for roots, anything I can
Find to tie me to this place
Coming up with fistfuls of dirt and
Musty memories of past hurt, betrayals
Better left buried
