"Now introducing...the amazing unfeeling Tin Man and his new assistant, Wide Eyes!"

It started out with a whisper
the sound a wisp of smoke makes
when a heart
slams
shut
an unopened letter on a dresser, never read
another note colorful, and
crumpled up
read many times
but never to conclusion.

Keys without locks have nowhere to go
locks without keys are just for show
and if they don't find each other
how can a garden
ever
grow?

Read these words.
Learn, and find
patience for the impatient
love takes its time
it started out badly
and ended all right
so it's never too soon,
and never too late
but precisely when meant to
is when
it
arrives.

Come and read our love letters
come and drink our hope
like after a drought
how there's still morning dew
because if we can do it
a spaz and a tin man
broken and scarred and
nasty inside,
numb and sharp
so
can
you.

They say that when God closes a door,
He opens a window
or something like that?

"Or maybe the window only opens so you can jump out it."

You worried me sick that day.
