The Anonymous Way

 
child
 
     
 
When she woke her hair was such a mess
Unknowable to us as an infant’s duress
Fireflies vanish to the world that they finesse
Evening morning and at noon I will cry out in distress
His tie was long and only worn in jest
Inside a child was crying to confess
Sometimes God looks upon the blessed
Smile and you will be a big success

When - p. 9

Where are you who came to see me when I was fifteen and everything was breaking down around me and to get your attention I swallowed a bottle of aspirins and stayed the night in the hospital and you never left me even after I disappeared?
