The Lesson

Not even his famous irreverence
Could ever erase
Every touch, every taste, every sleight of face
I remember everything.

The past is our bind
A promise long left behind;
This lesson in possession
Is Jealousy's curse,
But she is just a mother and
He is just the child 
Who hides behind her skirt.

Who will love him? 
He wanders the earth blind
Across silver-scarred skies
Through jet streams
And silent goodbyes.
