wisdom
i watch her float
along the hallways,
her eye documenting the surroundings
a huge figure, carrying
the crumbs of her family,
her smile holds history
i follow her wanderings,
i recognize wisdom
in her slow movements
i ask her for guidance,
a few words
to make sense of me
she tells me to come closer,
to put my ear
to her full lips
from the depths, she offers me light
ain’t no hometown quite as fair,
ain’t no bird with my cock’s flair
