One Hundred Dragonflies - Ceschi

Woke up to one hundred dragonflies circling our heads

The day after you left us so alone

Now all that I can see are bright lights in spaces where you were

You were always singing

You were always there

Woke up alone today

Again in the dark

And the storm outside couldn’t hide my brother’s cries

Violent moans like those of our father when dope left his system

We need you more than you know

We need you more than ever

History left your mark on my face with this nose and hair

That still grows wild as grape vines

Kissing my cheeks

I know you’re here

So I’ll hold my breath till I see shapes or see your face again

Whichever comes first

If that doesn’t work, I’ll summon heaven

To pour down onto us all

And leave us drenched wet in your scent

You are always listening

You are always here
