of reasons why
and there the answers –
for time (this time)
to contemplate
the welcome wrap
of all we wanted –
destinies
remit to fate

who knows how
and I won’t tell them
you were here
tho still you are –
restless
as a nightbird calling
come – I’ve left
the door ajar

let me share
this everafter –
bring the blankets
– leave the bed
I’ll be waiting
wrapped in silence –
find me where
the stars are spread
