upon returning...

upon returning

i carry many words

of mine and others

bundled in a digital scroll.

i won't ever fail to distinctly remember:

1. three cocks lane in gloucester

2. the low ceiling of madrid's metro

3. the piggy display at a butcher's in naples

4. the blue greece should get a copyright for

5. the jar of vinegar, sugar and water

that my father uses to attract

wasps away from the grapes.

i have learned how to drive

at the age jesus died.

i am coming home:

the book

the promise

and

the scribe
