A Story No One Told

picture life etched in stone
life sketched in poems
on sidewalks in dry chalk next to homes
picture all you’ve left alone
and kept in reflections shown
your dome sketched in subjective tones
picture life on a sidewalk
frame it - so all view
all you’ve ever felt
try to name it - its called you
picture it
in the space between steps
it’s the grace between breaths
and the message in this make-believe text
