am i my only champion?
i wish for closed shutteres
creaking headboards drowned
in sighs and whispers
a child sleeping a few doors down
i wish for family dinners
stolen kisses at the doorjam
your chest and my head melting
i wish for freedoms, unherolded
one bedroom appartment
purposefully u nstocked pantries
quarters laid out for the mat
i wish for an unknown name
books stacked in piles along walls
aloneness, a trustfund
greatness in crinkled papers
i have a past pinned to walls
past shoved in drawers
pressed between pages and
left far, far away
where, my champion, where now?
