Can I Join You?
by Lisa Marie Brodsky
Where are you going?
Can I go with you?
You seem to be fading
Let me hold onto you
For a while longer
Let me not stare at
A piece of paper
You last touched
You last held
Let me not stare
At it because its the
Last thing you had
In your hands
Let me look into your eyes
What was it they said about walking?
There would be a pebble in your shoe
You would have to be carried
Mother dont let them carry you yet
Where are you going
Can I go with you?
Ill be quiet and just watch
Ill be quiet and just rest my head
Against your shoulder
Can I just go with you?
