to get a glimpse between the
branches of something old that still
lives extravagantly and
defies my own eyes
resisting decay while
leaning towards his ancestors
I knew what strength was
but did not move
I spoke in parables
summoned to answer unanswerable questions
I was already missing the silence of the streets
or meeting my ghosts
in the bright light that sounded
the death knell for the birds dreaming
of being dinosaurs
