Parting

Don’t go
is what I want you to tell me

The rainless south wind
will make me long for you

Tell me
these are beautiful days
to have you here to look at your mouth
and to listen
Don’t go

Tell me life pleases you

Tell my voice to go on and on

Tell me you will be happy and of good cheer
even when I am gone

Tell me I’m stupid

a child or feathers & a small brain
held in your hand

Tell me I know
my way back to you
even at night
in the rain that hides the stars

that makes me sad, too. (it's lovely, though.)
