It's Hurricane Season
The hurricane shakes the windows
I huddle on the couch
It surges through my body
Neurons fire, uncontrolled
It thieves from me the beings
Denies me what I love
The doctor says it is a dream
I will never quite be whole
Learn to live with it
It is a part of you
This season is your life
Respite
The room, it's in shambles
The rain drums the windows
The heartbeat is fainter
Once voices have ceased
Beleaguered by demons
Deliver their opus
Admire their handiwork
It's quite something to see
It's time for the pilgrimage
Land of your birth
Years spent in exile
Countries closed borders
Embark on the voyage
There's no way back home
Memory
What is to be done
the machine is outmoded
where do the cogs go
the spokes and the wheels
where is their home now
the factory shut down
What is to be done
it's becomes obsolete
don't hold on too tightly
don't let it go
it's best to forget it
but try to remember
What is to be done
the city is drowning
the life vests are heavy
but so are the cries
What is to be done
it's all placed in boxes
hold them in weary hands
they gather the dust
