I am always drawn back to places where I have lived*



Who comes waltzing
from Africa…this time
his eyes narrowed
as a matter of fact
produced a mania
three photographs.

He fingered a leaf
as a face suited
to someone far away…
“Let me build you a drink.
Something new.
White angel…”-
lips move in
sync
deja vu…

I’m always drawn
to places where I've lived…
neighborhoods
crowded with attic furniture
red velvet associates
with hot days on a tram.
There were prints of Roman
ruins freckled brown with age…

Spirit heightened. I felt in my pocket
the key to this apartment,
my unwritten books there…
