By Rahel Hailu

Blues Guitar         

Where do we fly harder than before?

I know I can show you more…

            But do you love me still,

                        Or was I just a thrill?

I see a dream where grown women

Play the BLUES in the key

Of  minor D.  “Time!” they bleat,

Chasing notes from chests

Heaving with husky regrets

Of unplayed, untried memories…

            Who’s?

                        Mine…

I cry into the color of skies and watch

it bleed over the rooftops and trees,

My clothes, hair, skin…feel it drip

Through fingertips poised stoic, once more

Over hard played: Blue Guitar Strings.


Time has passed

Time has passed, encompassing all that remains…

What has happened is that I am alone again

Which is, AS IT SHOULD BE:

            God in His Truth has made all Things as They Are…

Yet do we understand?

            I am alone.  And yet, I fail to question…

Is there any redemption?

            Is there anything left to question…?
