wailing

looking out the window, listening to the wind

the leaves are all down

I’m bending strings to match the moan

the scratchy sound they make

winter is early

and the leaves are already brittle

warmer waters

another evening with a dry mouth:

saw the same old friends,

made plans for a date,

but she didn’t show.

and so I think I’m heading south

to see what I can mend;

to let go of hate

and let things go

rootin’ around and bootin’ around

we don’t talk like we used to

it seems weird to say I miss you

but we don’t really see each other much lately

so I guess I ought to
