The Meadow

Half the day lost, staring

at this window. I wanted to know

just one true thing

about the soul, but I left thinking

for thought, and now -

two inches of snow have fallen

over the meadow. Where did I go,

how long was I out looking

for you?, who would never leave me,

my withness, my here.
