.................................
hey. you've been quiet.
.................................

you know, did anyone tell you
your clipped tight lower
case sentences are
sensuous. i hard when i pause to imagine
you behind them. and when i merely walk along
i feel massaged and i soften

you know, did anyone tell you
fog rolls into chicago
and i am thinking
raven
raven flying seaward

on a good day you can see the snowy
and i can see iowa's hair
and then we bond in blue brown haze
of your town my town

on a good night instead
i can almost wish you weren't there
wishing instead
wishing you were here
