winnetaska, confessions of a tresspasser

 who am i to trespass here 

in the driveway of all that is sacred and this road has come to an end 

where the water meets the sand 

castles eroding like hope washed in a hushed whisper

we return like natives taking back the promised land

reflecting on the bent trees and blood-stained knees and apocalyptical memories

asleep in the hammock overlooking the shoreline, an unvisited tree fort 

constructed with neon shoelaces and duct taped as a last resort

to keep the family together

who am i to trespass here

in the moonlight we have come back to the start

circling back to saint judy's heart

like a ring on a finger with no beginning and no ending 

no more secrets, no more pretending

we stand at the edge of the driveway 

prodigals returning to the celebration

and the older brother is pissed.
