For a friend...
Pine Mountain (Danbury, CT) - Tuesday August 23, 2022

we can do better can’t we
this my dear ain’t all we can be
Life’s been rollin’ all along
and yet every moment is a captured memory
at least it seems that way to me
must we fight our way from city to sea
must the night be so bright while I just wanna sleep
a sometimes Love that never had the chance to big bang
I’d say it’s a shame
but that’s only in my brain
and the arrows hit hard tonight
something is out there
she has something she’d have me write
I’m afraid to get it wrong
this space is all grace
there’s nothing to chase
only to listen
and make not a decision
so much passion in the dictionary edition
the roman road isn’t so old
and the forest floor isn’t so cold
when Love fills the air
she knows we can do better
and she’ll spell it out
letter by letter…
