I walk in the cold

Numb to its bite

Cocooned and protected by my plight.

For my heart

You were always bad about leaving your stuff

But this last time really was the worst.

Of all the things to leave behind why did you leave your ghost?

You could have left a sock

or a cuff link

or a crumbled bit of paper with a forgotten list.

But no you left him.

I miss the fingers and the pencil taps

I miss my desk with the wood grain lap

The warmth of oak with grains that glow

The taste of an eraser in thoughtful woes

My worst fears shreading my heart

Is nobody listning as i scream from inside

With thought of such pain i

I read in the New York Times

about the possibility

of multiple universes

 

Such theories the article

May this gift bring warmth and joy to your life

As you have brought hope to my heart

Soft is the fur of the lovely fox

Softer still my feelings for you

When you fly away to the northern snows

My heart will be there with you

I walk through the door and lock it

I’ve waited all day long for this

Slowly building and building

Finally up the stairs

I’m addicted to this twisted play I put

The tedious typing

And the sound of Tappity-Tap Tap.

The words like webs

And the elegance of the rhythm.
