virgil



Your spine cracked
like the binding of the books
you stretched upon
asking me to read you
like lines of Virgil
and I know you
watched that man
wearing the dirty trench coat
and like a blind man
your hesitant palm to mine
reading into the future
talking of things to come
flocks of grey geese
born with knowledge of ponds and lakes
of where they are supposed to be
but some don’t follow
black sheep
with feathers
your smile
falters.
