In my absence you grew

Into the daring type

The cool, harsh and hidden one

While I was away your fire grew

Cold, now replaced

By an electric light with no fuse

When I was not here you became

Renewed and free from

The burdens which I gave you

Now I am here you stand and

Coil your body away

I didn't mean to.
