selfish and so wrong
outside for too long
that heaven is shook
that these bones are sunk
that forever I’ll steal you
inside as a thief
guilty and in need


That Winter and Spring
That glorious Summer
Those Days!
When I, with wings on my feet
And fire in my belly
Strode contented nonetheless
Though My Best Friend
Walked ahead sniffing and pulling
Whimpering, barking and biting
That Fall
