I will

I will send flowers
or a plane
if that’s what it takes
just come home
for another minute

Don’t

don’t write me a letter
you know
I never learned how to read

Tal

if by chance
I never make another friend
for the rest of my life
I think I’m okay with that
I think maybe
you are enough friend
for the best of my life.

Truth

there must be something terribly
wrong with me
the song said
I agreed
and
promptly went to bed.

Old

Perhaps
my soul
is too old
to be sold?

Close

You are
too close
to my heart
Back the
back off!

Wind

Early May
and the winds are still howling
been freezing us since October
could one of us
be the strength beneath it’s wing?
