Word association: Serendipity*

Serendipity, a homecoming

Tonight you’ll come home to this house
To a house not ours, nor our home.
The concrete hands gripping me tight
Will rupture and dissolve to dust.

I’ve been lying over the city
Like a glass dome.
Inside the kids play, oblivious.
I shield them from insults and injuries
That suck the air from these rooms.

All of this you know,
As you’ve been left behind
Ataxic and swollen
While your wife sends signals
Of sirens distress.

So come tonight, here to this house
Allow me a minute when you ring,
To lower my shoulders
To clean up the dust.

I will try my best
While I smooth my face
In the warm flesh of your neck
To feel the serendipity
Of who we are.




This poem would not be separated from this breathtaking video.
