anonymous
I went to where I was no one
and made something of myself
who knew?
I opened a door shut forever
and that was just to be me
what castles of word
I was translated
told on
and put out leaf
they could see right through me too
not even a name to make sense of
had to make another up
then it was all around respect
and grew
so many years all gone
to be the sunlight since
came home
no one recognized me
it was another language then
I no longer knew their ways
no catching up
I had not buried
not much
it’s like that in these parts
I had to live in a picture then
to tell the story out
or it was a poem where I’d gone
to a tune
and then a song
and in my own forest
far from care
I followed a line till it broke
hearts went down
this mask?
it melted in the fire will come
and so you see me
now you don’t
there won’t be an end
and no one will say
‘went for a vanish –
to earth, to air’
asked would I make a difference
believe me
I was no one
and there was no one there
