Night Song.
Among rocks, I am the loose one.
Among arrows, I am the heart.
Among daughters, I am the recluse.
Among sons, the one who dies young.
Among answers, I am the question.
Between lovers, I am the sword.
Among scars, I am the fresh wound.
Among confetti, the black flag.
Among shoes, I am the one with the pebble.
Among days, the one that never comes.
Among the bones you find on the beach, the one
that stings was mine.
