I put this window in <br />with my Dad <br /> <br />(well, I …helped him) . <br /> <br />large & huge <br />it fell on my left foot <br /> <br />in the putting in <br />my Dad cursed <br /> <br />heavy with hurt <br />& my mother angry...with him. <br /> <br />This window <br />is what <br /> <br />I saw my life <br />through <br /> <br />teeming with happenings <br />sorrowings…happinesses. <br /> <br />At night <br />I still go back <br /> <br />& steal into <br />my dreams <br /> <br />cut that window out <br />with the sharp blade of my imagination <br /> <br />place it ‘round <br />my neck <br /> <br />and climb back out <br />into reality <br /> <br /> <br />a memory <br />ninja. <br /> <br />No animals are ever harmed <br />in the making of this film <br /> <br />of my dream. <br /> <br />I walk once more <br />on earth <br /> <br />with an invisible <br />cut-out old window <br /> <br />stuck upon <br />my face <br /> <br />seeing once again <br />how I saw then <br /> <br />a child <br />becoming...man.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seeing-once-again-how-i-saw-then-for-lyn/
