Your Day In The Life As My Own

Your Day In The Life As My Own

A Poem by Onoma

I took your day in the Life as my own...
endeavor me was the all of my asking.
One rung shy of heaven you reached 
upward with both hands--your hands
were the spent voracious read of the
Good and Bad Book.
The ladder waved backward--as if the
ground caught at hello and goodbye.
All I could see were your eyes as they
broke the world open.
I pressed my doting exodus of one to
them...you picked that exodus clear
down to less than one.
I looked away, then again upon you--
your lips could not fan away the tonnage
their words reconciled upon.
The weight of the world is relative...
four great wildernesses bore four 
men with horse heads, they wore 
lab coats...bore into me from belly
button to chest cavity.
You arose from the feigned gravity of
your ploy...stood over me, and dripped
my organs all over me like a Pollock.
Then proceeded to pump in the surgical
staples of years.
Fixed your hair to its most perfect phrase...
prancing away from the hollowed world
of him.
