Today I resurrect
Amid the pages
Long kept, long forgotten
Scribbled in papers of life reminiscences
How should I know
Amidst its mildewed pages
And ant-eaten ridges
Could I find a part of me I own?
Lest I forgot—
Lest I wallowed in the ordinary
Incessant daily bickering
Of some self-images in fitting familiarity
These years
Some linked tears
Blotching in creamy stares
Reverberate a child’s dream
Rising distinctly amidst waves of faces
To claim a place on lofty plane
A touch distant to soaring eagles
But God is good—
I received a memorandum today
Just in time to remind me—
Who I am—
