POEM

The moment when I was reborn.

The light scared me as it peeked through the trees.

My eyes remain shut until you kiss me.

The riverbend is a great place to lay my head .

Some things look different, but many things remain the same.

Where you send your love and where it ends up are two different things

Birds fly above me, now I know I’m on earth.

The skin is rough, and her nails drag.

The river water quenches my thirst.

I ruffle around in the field a bit.

By the looks of it, many have been here in the past.

When you can read my lips I will let you have 

the key to my black heart.
