Like I Am Time

Through the café window
Water-colored kids skip to school
In the rain past that kin son's laundry
Billowing steam clouds of white chalk charcoal curling 'round Lilian

Like I am time traveling
It's 1979 where you live
Summer storm
Clouds burst with lightning, rain turns torrential
This street will soon be the river that baptized us, wine stye
Apologize for both of us all of the time

One shared womb and DNA address
Spiraling ladders, chains bonds and contracts
One might hope means love and devotion
No such commitment is written in the pact

These hands my gift from Mother
Tell of our childhood by a landscape of scars, gifts from you
A fawn that is caught in the wire, can't see hеr angel
These moon-shapеd dew claw scratch marks
Just what little sisters do

One shared womb and DNA address
Spiraling ladders, chains bonds and contracts
One might hope means love and devotion
No such commitment is written in the pact

One shared womb and DNA address
Spiraling ladders, chains bonds and contracts
One might hope means love and devotion
No such commitment is written in the pact

One shared womb and DNA address
Spiraling ladders, chains bonds and contracts
One might hope means love and devotion
No such commitment is written in the pact
