AN OTHER WORD
AN OTHER WORD
There’s an other word for color
there’s an other word for creed
there’s an other word for other
in their tastes for Adam’s deed
There’s an other word for circling
all those wagons filled with fear
when the arrows dipped in other
are aimed at you this year
I WAS AFRAID OF THAT
I WAS AFRAID OF THAT
My mother was afraid of everything
She may have been afraid of me
even before I was born
I can almost remember
pulling knees and elbows in
so as not to cause her pain
Afraid even in the womb to whisper
anything she didn’t want to hear
That sort of thing stays with you
Perhaps I should be thankful
for the cliffs I didn’t step off of
too brave and blindly in the night
buy what about the doors
the doors I didn’t open
into rooms filled with light
