to
walk across the water
it
would not be enough.
can
you believe in starts?
Kyussian
hills, unmarked landscape
I
know how small you can feel
on
an island once roamed by Celtic giants. Only History's bones are
too
strong to fracture its creators, black ink like shadows
on
a white page, fading with the night -
and
they speak a language
that
has forced them to kill
and
you do not comprehend.
If
I could translate
believe
me, in me, I would
if
only I was more than name.
If
I could hold the thread,
write
the map that guides
you
through labyrinthine daze -
to
learn from Joyceian flight,
and
to keep your wings intact,
you
too could be here, home,
can
you believe in dreams?
But
then again
where
is home when your heart is lost
and
it, like yourself,
forgets
to leave a forwarding address?
