Day 326: I Love

---

∴

a friend reminded me
that i had left something behind
when i moved –

for i always keep moving.

 

so in a dream,
i went back to my vacant
house in the sky,

delivered via pegasus back
and wearing slickers,
and galoshes,
what with all the wetness from clouds.

 

to the stairs inside
did i go seeking –
for i knew where the something was left –
and opened the cubby
that hid neath the stairs
like a clandestine pocket
in your grandmother’s robe.

 

there was a rack of shoes.

how many,
many
shoes.
how many,
many
roads to walk them in.

 

in the clog to the center
was a yellowed old note
rolled up like a hollow cigar,

but it loosed like a lock of let down hair
and fell in my hand with such silk.

 

“I Love”

 

it read.

that’s all it said.

 

and i left that house,
smiling
wide.
