Have You Ever Been Bewitched?

Have you been bewitched

by a song that you heard once

long ago

on a radio

during a storm

when the sky turned black and the lighting cracked and opened the sky

a silver wound quickly healed?

 

Have you ever been bewitched

by a painting

of  The Devil or maybe  Sin

hanging in a gallery above your head at the end of the room

their eyes finding yours

and then you smiled at each other like long lost friends?

 

Have you ever been bewitched by a story

you read late at night

when you were all alone and feeling lost and cold

a stranger in your own skin reading your life

penned by someone else’s hand?

 

Have you ever been bewitched?

If you’re lucky

you have been.

“Her eyes are so dark ”

my Grandmother used to say.

” I wonder what goes on behind them when her back is turned, when she thinks lost in thought and I’m looking the other way ”

“Her thoughts are so dark ”

my Father used to say.

‘ I wonder where they come from, where they go when she thinks I’m lost

in thought and I’m looking the other way.”

Self Portrait A.M. Moscoso

My eyes are dark

and so  are my thoughts

as you know

Grandma and Dad

they followed down into your graves

like so many others

when no one was looking, no one was thinking

and they were looking the other way.

Sometimes the most important

words

that

we hear,

that we speak,

that we write

are

the ones hardest

to

find, to create, to say

when there is a storm

inside of your head
