Shaking Hands With Myself.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Shaking Hands With Myself....



TONIGHT I SHAKE
hands to a self that
i pretended not to know.
my hands are cold
and i shiver to a new name.
a name i never call myself
but which i am, really am,
and then i bow before
this self, not liking it,
but it is.
and i assured this self,
i will still love you
no matter what.

tonight, a dog is barking
at the moon, as though
it is a stranger to this
world.
