vague thief
the wind will blow at unlocked doors
find the hearth & disturb the embers
the mind distorts the tale of absconded days
redesigns, & makes it pretty
but the heart remembers:
she arrived with an empty bag
& a butterfly tattoo
time made poems, made music
painted the sky inscrutable stars
(what is time but the harbinger of regret)
she left out the back door
her bag was full.

indeed, rockin' piece here John.
"time made poems, made music
painted the sky inscrutable stars " is a particularly strong line. groovy stuff mate.

And in between? What did she steal to stuff her bag? This is so deep and dense and I like it a lot!
