Cinnamon and Clove








I do not have a hiding place
Or ancient words whispering low
My lonesome walks are not a race
To hide a scar but to gently, let itself show

My dog is old and of one eye blind
But when he sleeps next to my feet
It is all peace, comfort and a moment so kind
That no pain finds safe harbor in the night’s heat

But still, as if the seeing eye of my old dog
I do sometimes look into that simple place
Where a name has found its whisper and song
To share with very few, as if a sunset dance

I do not have a hiding place
Just a name in which I often rest
And whisper
Low
