Radical

June 21, 2018 · by Vera · in Poetry · 8 Comments

I am realistic with you I am a child with you
I insist you become stupid with me I tell you to stop whinging
I refuse to take your place refuse to do your bidding
I defy so much I question my motivations
I will not be the labourer for whom you are the only fruit
I will not be your whim
If you say I can no longer live with pain
I read: But nostalgia is something else
I begin to read you as I would my own soul
It seems radical It is what I must do

For I always mean to meet you
Whichever timeline What continent
And you have my word:
I shall be there
If you are there

Waiting
If you disembark
