Original Symbols

Did you know I saw the signs in you
Of you
Different than those symbols frantically grasped at
Now I can no longer remember


And I must reject them all
For you
Maybe the signs led back to me all along
Must I really say no?


I’d play any game at all
If it kept you smiling
At me, with me


And only because
You felt like an old friend
Long-parted, long longed-for
And never more secure


The messages came to me
In dreams of missing cars and purple wounds
Repaved roads and magic numbers
Sudden knowings, letting go
Late-night desperate Prayer
Giving answer to more than was asked…
