“Don’t” // “drown”

“what color are waves // “and the waves rave

white as snow // they can’t brake

when they break // as we rake

did you survive // we’ve been drowning

the drift ok // carried a w a y

still, as a pebble // couldn’t stay

could you stay // in the midst of fray

turn on the moon // the moon lights upon

in my small chimney // us in your chimney

could you stay // gray

don’t take // won’t take

that name away // that name away

the one only you know // its memories flow

i don’t need magic // it has been bleak

i hate being // but you’re my

just any wildflower // beautiful wildflower

don’t be new // now’s my adieu

just be here // sorry dear

stay here, don’t go.” // can’t stay here, let go.”

[RM] // [e.c.]
