11/38 Jewel in the Night

People
Appeared
As I slept
Dead people
Translating past
Issues
Into present
Tense

Next morning
Still
Clinging
To my pack
Like a child to mother's skirt

I walked and walked
They 'talked' and 'talked'
Until
I opened my heart
I
Let them in
They
Let me go
To walk El Camino
A little lighter
