Outside the Gas Station IIIA Poem by BenjaminI loved it without doubt my tiny little sprout, but-- it always grew: to my knees then my chest then my head then the rest.
I emptied my garage of its things, a toolbox, some rings...all from years and years ago, time rusted like gears in a watch.
Still it was not enough.
Into a massive beast it grew, right on through the roof; up and out and over it flew, and left me without proof.
I will not forget, or forfeit those memories tender, for they render me helpless--
like a tiny ball of fur and feather left to weather the world alone till you come and pick me up. © 2014 Benjamin |
