A Saint, A Sinner, & A Psychopomp




Where the moon rises in the daytime
And the sun shines at night.
Where the breeze can whisper secrets
& You can hopscotch across the sea,
Where you can find a quiet place to write,
Here, on the little Island of Me.
Here is a world that is standing on its head &
Laughing with its logic perched on a razor’s edge.
Here I find the characters
That turn the wheels of thought;
One is a saint,
One a sinner,
& One a psychopomp.
One is not a liar.
One always speaks the truth.
One knows there’s more to life,
Unlike the other two.
One bickers with another
& One bickers with none,
Because some days the one is three
& Some days the three is… I,
As in the Island of Me.
So some days I’m a blowtorch
Some days a wildfire;
Some days I burn myself
& It just makes me all the wiser.
Some days I’m feeling radiant.
Some days I’m feeling hollow.
Some days I get bent
While I’m waiting for tomorrow
Because I know some days are different
But some days are all the same
And I find this very funny yet also slightly strange
Because I never was a psychopomp, a sinner, or a saint
There was never such a bunch
& One was never three
I was always I
On the Island of Me
