light through the glass / to wake whistling and shoot the mockingbird / takes longer to warm a bed than / with two / one and one forever / alone a promise to keep / you safe from / him you / safe from you
in turn / the moon a wall / sunbeams penetrate blue / lively laughter for once now / never again
joyous loops / (sensuous sputtering) to / life as we see it / but love as we / plead remains (fault of the tried pleads guilty) / silent
months return / in spiteful presence call / back the rain time / rages over this landscape our / ravaged faces / weeping with relief / as they pass
I miss you / so far from / trying to find yourself / lose your / self / in the trees just / make sure when you / come back / to me / you remember how wonderful life can be and why you should never consider / leaving / when I'm waiting for you to knock on my door
*I miss you too / and it's lonely out in / these woods but I remind myself / replay your sincerities in my mind when I find myself / drifting
I'll be home soon / please be there
