untitled in brooklyn
writhing brain
stimulated by the new and the old
the familiar love of home
of known
of comfort of love
missing these essential links
essential foundation of life and being
catching the glimpse of what’s been
denied my body
i’ve denied myself my roots
balance to keep standing
standing statues require
the hum be at the base
and only then can the flyer rest light as a feather
come back to your roots, child
the outside world has taught you well
now homeward bound to deepen
