Invitation
Yesterday
you said you didn’t
want to see those people
that you couldn’t forgive them
and didn’t want to
talk to them about it.
When I can’t forgive
I’m usually eager
to tell people
I hope my grudge
will burn them up
like a bright stone
inside them.
But that’s because
I am an anger carrier
like Prometheus
I bear firelight in me
always kindled.
And I’ve changed
out of all reckoning
so I want to know
if time has bought me
peace or indifference.
Also I left strings attached
to everyone
it is a way of mine
and I want to know if
I can still move them.
