Ahhh Tokyo

Ah

There were rivers in my hands
of life that
flowed continuously
rivers of blood
that
held
me
bound me
to what was
streams
of conciousness
that lifted me
high
trickles of
madness
calling me home
where these hands
first held
at the beginnings of time
then chafed
the cracked
and split
until those
rivers
ran red
There are rivers in my hands
the fueled
the fire burn
baby burn
and there were rivers
that could
not wash away
the smell
of inequity
in my cell
of injustice
yet those rivers
still carry on
in my hands
and promise to lead
back to what was
and always shall be.
