I secretly wish

To see your picture with that ring,

that Dirty, small, cheap little thing.

I secretly wish

to Drive you home,

Wishing on those nights

that I am Alone.

Wishing

to go a Distance,

to See you At Home.

I made it some purpose

to Search and Scavenge or you

now that summers through

you have flew

Far from Home.

I secretly wish

to See some pictures of you With that ugly Ring.

I wish —

Staring at that empty swing,

Owen R Thornton
