I suppose
the sun shines there today
the sage, juniper and pinyon
stand there today
I suppose history haunts there
like shadows on the brick
as children play in the school yard
I suppose
the trees I planted still grow there
and the house I set there still stands
I suppose my fingerprints
may still be found there
I suppose
But I will not go back there to see
I will not go back
I am here now.
2.
I have argued
with ghosts and demons.
It is never a fair fight.
Even if I win,
I lose too much.
I am learning
to just walk away,
and to sing something,
usually the blues...
3.
My pension comes with strings attached
I am forced to remember my work
to earn my retirement.
The chains may be broken
but my souls is still captive
and I am still running away.
4.
Eureka?
I would rather
remember
Maui...
