I think I know where
you hide.
When I was a child,
you hid
beyond where
neglected fences
around the park’s
hinterland
disappeared into
culverts and
darkness. You lurked where
the
forest became too
thick to
see into. I’m duly
afraid to
admit I saw you just
beyond
the close of the
horizon; you were
concerned only with
the
business of your
existence and
the coming war to end
all wars.
I think I know what
you are.
But, that doesn’t
mean you
do not exist. You do,
especially
to those who claim
they’ve looked
for you —others
didn’t want to
join you; they wanted
to claim
you... At least, that
was the whispers
among them. I know
they want to
fortify the border.
But, we know;
don’t we? You and I
can never
escape each other
since you are
found in me and I in
you.
