my dna warped in front of my eyes
on several occasions on several nights
the switched antipode of one’s earths side
the left or the right
i left when it felt right
and i came back with each spoken word
to the others in the palacade
in which we stayed - for hours, never days
because we wanted our years
to be hindered with whisper
to go south bound in winter
and stay endless summers with no sun
but strong it was on the days it came
they couldn’t understand my words at 12
when a new day entered but i left
and came back and front and up and left
particles dripping down my face
holding others accountable instead of myself - on a double yellow line
parked up in passenger recline
in a car of desire tenesse feared to tread
i liked to write but the words showed up bronze
on several occasions on several nights
i wondered if i belonged
on this side or that side
on a right or left flight
heading to an endless summer i held back for so long
