I
My mind wondered towards the cloud
Flying like it were a bird
Staying with the lark so loud
Making me remember that word
Which makes the buried memories
From their graveyard to be wakened
These very dreary dreaded piece
To come to the conscious mind
Stared I as soon as I entered
‘I quit’ written on my wall
As the wind is all I had
To calm my wounded broken soul
And like a pendulum from the roof
Her hardened body is still swinging
Making I wish she would just poof
Like magic and stop me from crying
II
My mind
wondered towards the horizon
To where
the heavens meet the earth
Staring
at the night being born
To
aspens quivering, to that lonely path
Leading
to this lonely hut
With its
gaping holes yearning
These
welcoming holes of a bat
But,
sent away by a fire burning
And this
woman who silently swings
With a
white ring around her neck
And this
wind which still sings
To calm
my heart that do ache
And
dripping with no pause
To flood
my boned cheek
With a
river of little known cause
As its
like million nail prick
III
Poor and needy of a place to burry
Going once, a thousand shillings it is
Dead and needy of a burial so merry
Going twice, a hundred shillings it is
Sold not, none would want to bid
To buy this creature so thin
This being who borne a rotten seed-
Its child gotten from her sin
She who still wants to swing from the roof
With her feet tightly held together
And as hard as a cows hoof
Talk to me! Talk to me mother!
And stop this flooding river of no course
Which is filled by small torrents still dripping
Flowing over this surface so coarse
Like water from leaf and not stopping
IV
Talk to me! Talk to me mother!
And stop my mind from wondering
So I can know where is father
To go and to him I can sing
My mind wondered to the whitest cloud
Gently flying as its free as wind
Going higher than the eagle so proud
But brought down by a soul burdened
Still weeping for you still swinging
Since there’s nobody to bring you down
And help me continue mourning
And bring a dress already sewn
Oh muse give my hand strength
Make my memory clear so can write
As I take on mother’s path
After she abandoned me, but wait!
V
Listen to where my mind wondered
Very lonely in the starless night
Where a solution I discovered
That would solve my plight
Since ‘twas great love had for mother
That’s why am going to let her go
Knowing she’ll be happy in another
So this to myself won’t do
A ring around my thin neck
Legs beating like am drowning
But suspended in the air not a lake
Staring at her shattered face frowning
So the wind Aeolian harp
Played to I burying that memory
Somewhere that doesn’t exist in a map
So won’t hang while swinging slowly.
