Each life I’ve ever lived
Is with me still, seen
In glimpses of a past
Not mine to recall.
Yet there are places
My body calls home,
Places I’ve never been,
So familiar I know
Every bend in the road,
Every tree and rock.
I knew some truths
Before the age I could know,
Truths I hung onto
When surrounded by No.
I see you nod your head.
A stranger across the way
Meets my eyes with recognition,
Unspoken words, unspeakable words,
Words cannot tell truths we share.
