Green Shoes

Years before I knew you I was walking down Rue de Rivoli and I saw
those green and silver snake print trainers
and I had to
have them

And years later, still before I knew you, I had to let them go
because I went to another place and drank in a bar called Freedom and my bag was already filled with other things

And now I am thinking of them
and thinking of you at the same time
and thinking about what time is and decisions of memory

and a continuum of missing something or someone
different names and forms

a mutable loss

which now I will to change to presence

and this beautiful day brought me here to understanding the astrologers' words
when they talk of Chiron in Aries and how to take it IN, they say 'in' like that with accentuation
and I see the power of time and being that is living inside myself and I laugh that I was mourning the sudden limitation to my newly stepped identity because
Yes
