Latecomer

Latecomer - don’t think you know anything
What it was like
The feeling of splintered wood beneath my hand
The soft unlatching
The view from that strange elevation
It was golden
And you and yours
Can’t estimate its beauty
Who never think in terms of what things could be
Who make sure your heart curls up small
Who don’t mythologize at all

Latecomer - don’t pretend to know who I have been

So maybe you are gentler than most
And almost hush the coaxing of the ghost
Don’t purport to grasp the history
Recorded in a language only He and I can read
