Caledonia

The cavity in my chest catches the sound

Thump thump it vibrates deep and strong 

Hips sway in a lazy circular haze

Blue and green light 

Saying goodbye to lost boys

To my dearest Peter and all my lost boys
over the years I have loved being
your Wendy bird
I gave you your "medicine"
I read you stories
We played house

But my sweet friends
our games are all make believe
and one day I want to live them
I'll miss you terribly
every boyish grin
and each wild Pan crow

I must go home now
Neverland is not where
Wendy birds belong
Thank you for our one last puff
of pixie dust
and for letting me inspire you

with a kiss
