where are you now
the house you clung to
so proud of
is
gone
do you wonder
wander
have you settled in
to the job
of learning kindness
so foreign so
difficult
for you
demanded from others
exempt for you
committed to your story
as your house crumbled
your strong will
determined
to imagine yourself
eternal gorgeous
hold on you did
even death defied
peace was boring love was weak
conflict pleasure
fought for
applauded
o great teacher
your house burned
have you returned
to play
to learn your lessons
o Sylvia
piece of work
you were the cautionary tale
did you learn from you
i did
so appreciative of the
part you played so
well
