Welcome to My life in the shadows
Knowing
Knowing
The deep and dark shadows
Of night
Are well known
By things who live
In darkness,
Like the bird who knows the cat
Who sits watching in the grass,
But forgets.
Or the tear that knows the cheek.
Or the photograph
That is known
By he who carries it,
Of the pretty girl
Whose love
Lives in it.
I want to be known,
Like a door left open,
Like a smile that welcomes,
Like windows that love sees through- -
And the cat
Purring in the grass
His belly full;
Not because
What I did
Was so magnificent,
But because
I never forgot
What I could do.
