Ode To a Place I Have Known

I have been visiting

For 11 years

But as of late, and only of late

Have I felt contempt

I remember

My first coming

That frigid and foggy morning

The saturated statues on your field

Lifted me with deligth and sat me astride

The teachers let their hands be an anchor for mine

My fingers, a marionette

Writting myself a welcome of many tides

But today, when I came to say goodbye

Looked at you and everyone standing by,

They had already forgotten me

All of your stairways and teal windows

Became foreign in heat

The statues remained silent and solid

And my friends were nowhere to be seen

Thus I went missing in your search And you went missing in mine
