As he so thinly and lightly floated up
He saw a ****** mess crowded around.
He understood and not bothering his weightlessness
Thought I must now find my way home.
Over the mesh of cables and wires
Above the teeming dots of men and machines
He skimmed the noiseless air beyond pain.
Now I know they spoke of what gain.
Once found he thought of landing on the roof
Melt through the attic door and be right beside her
But he didn’t want to give her a scare.
He would rather take the front door.
He held to the belief he needed no mirror.
It proved right as she was just mildly surprised.
He wished he could hold her hand and say
I’m back early for you today.
But there was so little time for the frivolousness
And supposing he wouldn’t be there the next instance
Started to speak.
I came back just to tell how much I love you.
She responded in a beaming radiant face
*This is madness
To have come back for what I always knew*
And then as he lifted her in a demonic strength
Giggled I love you too.
When she rose to silence the phone’s ring
She didn’t see him take wing
To go home in the wind’s flow!
