From My Heart
a pantoum for Juan and Yolanda
a pantoum for Juan and Yolanda
From my heart a flame connecting me to you Shoes, clothes, books lost in the fire, but most of all, home Another mobile home you’ll find, somewhere or other Years of saving money now nothing but smoldering ash Shoes, clothes, books lost in the fire, but most of all, home It’s only stuff you say with tears in your eyes Years of saving money now nothing but smoldering ash Two children afraid to come back to what was home It’s only stuff you say with tears in your eyes When I asked what you needed you said shoes Two children afraid to come back to what was home You could have said I want to feel safe again, but that I cannot give When I asked what you needed you said shoes Another mobile home you’ll find, somewhere or other You could have said I want to feel safe again, but that I cannot give From my heart a flame connecting me to you |
