Take me as I could be

My mind has a revolving frequency
cast out to me - to remind me
that I am a background

child.  I am the sepia of long-
forgotten tradition, an old soul
trapped in contemporary blues
and steel guitars and,
mostly,
invisibility.  Yesterday
is my hometown
[i am a shade
of it, a passing cloud's
misery, for only
a second].

[i have become
old news

blowing across
the street, filthy
unloved]

Don't worry.  I
shan't be
with you
long - just
until you might miss me
when I leave.

[then you can realize
that my heart's always been
where i left it -

behind me]
