Assignment with Sidney - Milestone Three


Mother is my marker,

Mother is my marker!

Mother is my mind,

And I her minder.

 
Somewhere outside frosted shells,
Dancing in the light
Spreads you thin.
Oh, life acquired a willy-wag tail
To outlive the eldest tree trunk---
Do you reciprocate?


There, called Life to some,
was where I came to be.
I didn’t do it for elaborate sincerity…
I’d doodled and compounded,
that this is where my love
should be founded.

On a breakaway wall
two words etched:
Me + You

If you could see
my black ship
linger on a port,
you’d sound about
right on point.

Chortled he did,
finding me on my perch -
delight smeared on him,
hunched over and happy.

He knew I could dim
the hard-noise with my
noisier chirps….
He, being my whole embrace.

He called me Murphy,
I knew him as Jack, and I
loved the words “something borrowed, something new” to describe how he’d thrown his lovely person from view,
telling me:
My wings only fly me to you.
