WATERMARK

a poet’s notebook


Established 02004

i would take you . . .

  

i would take you . . .
  

 

i would take you home 
if i knew where that was 

i would take you home
if you knew where that was

if your feet had roots
if your hair had wings
if we could fly
if we could grip this earth

with something other than
desire

i would take us home
if we knew where that was

it could be right
it could be sweet
it could be the beginning

i would take us home
i would plant us there
comb your feathers
groom your wings

set you free
