Brother


     
     
     I am dreaming of my keeper’s brother
     that our hands will fit together
     that nothing needs to be said
     he knows my story

     dreams are such stuff as we are made on

     today I am a traveler
     not remembering the way I came
     far from the one who would lead me home

     my keeper
     dark clouds have been gathering
     I didn’t see them

     my brother
     when I look behind
     three crows stare back at me

     the canny one speaks my name  
     but nothing echoes in this place

     there are statues where we used to live

     some duty’s been forgotten
     someone’s been missing too long

     what am I?
     if not my brother’s keeper
