Amoeboid

I can be what you want me to be

And, I can be what I want me to be for you.

But I am neither!

Either I am bound up in my thoughts,

Or I am as naked as a corpse.

Come to me when I am asleep

Peep into my dreams, and watch me be

Watch me float with my wings

Round and round within my dreams.

I see people;

People who could be me, when I am old

People who I could’ve been, when I was young

Children, who weren’t born from my womb

Mothers, who didn’t bear me in them.

I see houses;

The ones with bamboo curtains

And bougainvillea spreading across the walls,

I wonder about the stories that are weaving inside

And I wish, I knew them all.
