Duality Complicity

Duality Complicity

I do not see your half in her

You do not see my half in lines

We are mutually blind, ignoring all those pains

That define

What was and no longer is

The path between pain and kids

Laughing in the yard, growing older

In the shards of, a family broken

I did forgive you in a land once spoken
Out in the space of her hairs wild and sparkling

Like bubbles in a wine glass darkening

The tannins eclipse the taste turned bitter and tense

Innocence a bartered sense of time exchanged

Virgin to blame the land of the lion tamed

And stamped inside her chest to carve out the breathes

To forget the duplicity in the reminisced complicity

In her makeup and mark down that you and I are

Both here in this show down of states and I just want this

Town to break into song and get this dirge gone

The death of this death the wash over of what has been left

Acknowledge the other and end all this smother

Of who this child has been raised to be 

Free her from these bonds by giving up this lie

Say to her sweetly the truth in the binds

Growing into knowing and loving in the drubbing

Resenting in the pinching of clinching of a short sighted plan

Let her run and be neither and both of us inside this land

Of Indian summers and European falls

She is my American native tumble weed tall

Dancing in the bubbles and proud for the trouble

Why all this disparity between what she knows is her now normality

Let this butterfly lift and soon your own pain

May be over with
