within this place
of waiting –
shall I will you come
for me
and remember not
the want
we wasted here
the sweet refrain
confessed
until whispers
become flesh
til all I knew
was only you
again

a melody
corrected –
from somewhere
we began
as the afternoon
fell sweet
into the stars
when for a moment
wishes were
our way for getting back
a slice of love
became this place
we are

. . .
