There was a Time
#deepadation
4/19/2019

There was a time
homeless waiting
for a bus under a
sagging concrete 
bridge near midnight
LA hip restaurants
casting a hungry 
shadow across
night’s amplified 
loneliness we knew 
home never would 
be again

There was a time
we shot forth
into an oxygen
rich atmosphere
wailing as we fell
certain in this
world of external
eaters comfort
would never
be again

There was a time
a few minutes
ago I was certain 
words had left me
as I comfortably 
cleaned our kitchen 
remembered we never
stopped falling and 
home always will
be again.

This one works very well for me, doc.  Through the process of an oblique narrative, the narrator becomes one of the homeless.

Thanks,
