Subject: I Have to do it Myself

I was half in and half out of conciseness
I heard the words before I saw him.
“Everything I do seems wrong.”
My mind responds without words
“I feel that way too.”
An apparition who looks like that singer
the one drown in the river
it was in Memphis, I think.
His eyes are dark and sad.
What can I say?

I see myself from behind
and my hair hangs in dreadlocks.
Where is that pale fading women
I’ve seen in mirrors?
Once more,
I hear him speak.
“You’re changing again.”
Once more my mind responds,
“I don’t know how to stop it.”

Suddenly a child stands in his place
my beautiful boy
but his eyes hold that same dark sadness.
“Mommy, I have to do it myself.”
My arms fall around him
and I kiss his forehead.
“I know baby; don’t we all?”
