Everything I Saw |
I grew pale white lilacs and wild columbine |
And all of it was mine |
In old recycling bins I grew watermelon vine |
And all of it was mine |
And everything I saw seemed to get so small |
Like from a speeding car, old familiar barns |
I made hard wheat bread, and rhubarb berry fool |
And I gave it all to you |
I crumpled all my clothes and to the floor I threw them |
And turned right back to you |
My rotten softwood fence, my sagging hydro line |
All of it is mine, all of it is mine |
The mice come in at night in the muddy streetlight shine |
See the hulking brown skyline — |
All of it is mine, all of it is mine |
And all th while I shrunk I pulled my clothes around |
Lik my body I could drown |
I dug up shattered glass and forgotten plastic trucks |
And coiled faded twine |
And all of it is mine |
My buckling plaster walls, cracks snake and wind |
All of it is mine |
And everything I knew I seemed to see right through |
Like cheap cotton skirts like the Madawaska view |
All these things I knew |
Muddy white petunias, lobelia trails blue-eyed |
All of it is mine |
Irises shot up high and white lilies tumbled shy |
All of it is mine |
I dug up all my carrots with their wild orange hue |
And I gave them all to you |
And all the words with which I didn’t know what to do |
Oh I said them all to you |
