Shared Ownership 


The light and the shadow speckle the path.

My uncle's whispering holds onto his last sentence

as if our argument, uprooted, half dead, matters,

and as if the mathematics of ownership 

proportion matters, and as if matters matter.

All wane. All dissolve. All are the love letters

written to the dear ego at the instance 

of some authority, now shredded, burnt after reading.

The garden grows, but does not follow 

the landscape we designed. 

A shadow toddles this way. He sings 

a drunkard's notion of a fine song. 

My uncle keeps talking.
