The Wrinkles are Mine

The Wrinkles are Mine

Poem by: Sonny A. Dotson-Johnson

The Wrinkles are Mine

in the age of one million skins

scaling and renewing with the passage of thoughts

whaling in the sage of innocence

the diminishing whales of river

nothing more but time

the wrinkles are mine

I am more than the shells at sea

enlarging the turbulence of what I see

shrinking the cumbering waters

there is more to what I shall be

there is more to me than that of time

the wrinkles are mine

who is that who calls me

the seeking of the doors definite shut

pleading with dangers that I trust

dancing with the deceased at dusk

the lives and the line

the wrinkles are mine

the pressures from weight not carried

bending in the sofa's of depression not buried

rising out of the bed of centipedes

into the wars of summer

the showers of sour spring

the wrinkles are mine

who is that who asks if I live

keeping the waves of all that is wanting

pacing back and forth towards the dragon

the flower that smells of heavens garden

the serpent snares and warns of ice

all that is there

all that is here

forever

near

the wrinkles are mine

the wrinkles, surely, are they mine
