I KNOW MY NAME

i know my name

and have also traced my roots

i know the lamentation of lord brooke

on his myra -

"...mad girls may safely love

as they may leave ..."

i know my depressed mother

and hear rumours

about my german father



although I am burdened with

their sword

my genes have not spoken

the last word:



my heart beats warm

but my head stays cool



gold and silver

united

in love

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Never underestimate rational love ... it keeps the heart in place

I am suddenly overwhelmed with images of the many loves of my life.
