When I did not know
my left from right,
I knew you

When up and down
had no existence,
you were with me.

Have these things
caused you to forget ?

I know you
and you should know
that you cannot fool me

I see you

beyond the fear
that overwhelms you

underneath the
tear aged face

past the smile
that is worth
a thousand lies

I see you

Who and what
is your enemy?

You may be
someones' enemy

They may have
demonized you
in their thoughts

Who is your enemy?

Have you demonized
the one who demonizes you,
that you too may have an enemy ?

Only demons
wage and
win wars

To the victor
go the spoils.

Have you been spoiled?

Come, sit with me

at this vertical time

and in a moment

remember me

Remember me?
