Find Me I’ve been a hobo jumping trains, a fortune- telling gypsy catching rides with carnies, a stowaway on a submarine, a street busker in New Orleans, the last poet standing at an open mic. a seductress, a condemned witch. Walked the plank and swam ashore. Pressed my tracks into wet sand, turned to see them wash away. I put my name in a bottle with a poem to tell you all roads lead to us, show you how to reach me through time, tides, a portal of words.
Hold me like a dusty book with a broken binding, my history mapped on the tattered cover. When you open me, I’m brand new. |
