this is for A

look back into rear view mirror  and with a slight shake of the head:

one cannot quickly displace the sight of an 

odd old black woman 

dressed in red 

with yellow flowers in her hair  

a white sheet from someones laundry 

tied around her neck  and it was

billowing,

she only comes out when its nice to parade up and down her catwalk: 

holton  street.  

she was a sigh

she was a sight

to see

deer friend caught in  the headlights of passing cars,

i am you and you are me

loo king 

for answers in the dark

and when

you bend over to retrieve what you thought you have lost

you realize

you're getting older and your head's not with your heart.

see, I'm disconnected to some years ago. back when we were just. 

fifteen years old. getting picked up and getting kicked out. 

 can you take me home.

take me home.
