You Can't Go Home Again

"Come summer, there will be as much sun
|
||||
as anyone
|
||||
could ever want,
|
||||
and you will have
|
||||
all the time in the world
|
||||
to open a book and let the pages unfurl."
|
||||
|
||||
But I doubt summer will ever come,
|
||||
for the winds tug at my hair,
|
||||
and the rain waits for no one,
|
||||
and I have now lost more than a year
|
||||
to someone else's mistake,
|
||||
to a whole lot of someone elses' fear.
|
||||
|
||||
Can I fight against my nature?
|
||||
Can I resign myself to torture
|
||||
self-baden, self-scarred,
|
||||
severed by far
|
||||
from the home
|
||||
that is myth,
|
||||
that was never my own?
|
||||
|
||||
I carry within this body an unspeakable name
|
||||
pointing to where lies eternal spring,
|
||||
where I could never return
|
||||
having earned
|
||||
failure's shame
|
||||
and the enmity
|
||||
of the deity
|
||||
I only ever yearned
|
||||
to be friends with.
|
||||
Only in these books
|
||||
can I unfurl my wings,
|
||||
can I step once more
|
||||
in that town I long forsook.
