There is something about sending it to the list that immediately shows me
flaws.
Edited:
This building is a maze.
I cannot find my way.
You wait for me, somewhere.
There are many people
but none of them are you.
A pelican fies in
through an open window
and regurgitates a child
onto the plank floor.
I pick you up, but you grow
too large for me to hold.
You are old now, bent and thick.
The pelican returns to retrieve you.
I am alone in the parlor.
I see the sky out the window
and you, on the pelican’s back,
flying into it.
