“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.”
