Palm Dreams
Jeremy Bolm
What was it that brought you west?
I assume but can only guess
It's the questions that went unasked
That appear when time has passed
It felt like many years
Taking apart our home
I dug through forty years
All alone
On my own
Was it all the palm trees
Placed where they shouldn't be
That made you feel complete
In this land of make believe?
Like going 65 on the 5 at 5
I am still bereaved
Come every ocean breeze
What was it that brought you west
Where I lay my head to rest?
