Before We Go Upstairs Poem by Saul McCandless

Before We Go Upstairs



Can we forget
the past and what it has left us
A conundrum of dead messengers

I but tempt
my self to do what others pretend
A lackadaisical relief, golden shored

I by example
lead my Mother astray as she wanted
Blame your children’s children

Can we watch,
lift the latches on the front gates
Opening into the yard of yards

Beach because
you know you should be doing
More for you and yours too.
