Witness



I have an ocean in my handkerchief,
Of stories untold
Hidden in the dark pocket,
The cotton skeleton
A rubbernecker of insolence, of cruelty and deforested thoughts!
You are telling me to wash it dry, to make it shine again?
I’d hold it against the wind and let the tales go
Of no use at all, to none of those blinded ears;
Yet it had spots bolder than words,
Footprints more telling than the ink,
What it did; died...
Empty winds! With you take them all
Let it live with me, I would wash it clean.
