Remembering you

Remembering You. (For my Papa Bear.)

Show me pictures of yellow streets

And all your walls
Without a name

I want to see your city shining
In shades of white
I want to see it dressed
With red lights
Remembering You.

I want to dance
In all your haunts
Hear stories from old men
Then lose my way.

Remind me that happiness
Is still worth its weight in gold
Find me
In blue of the night
Within bodies that shouldn’t be sold.

Spin this path
Like my grandmother’s hair
Black and white with a little brown
Take me to your lost green land
Where I’m waiting to be found.
