Warm sheets can't disguise the fact
That you're not in them.
After reading a page of
Haiku film reviews....
That I'm not really so bad
With little people.
The lake's too cold to swim in.
Let's throw rocks instead.
Why we buy blaze orange vests
For giving her walks.
Amidst the dying screams of
Camera batteries.
In a rusted but good car
Because I love you.
Now I know that I like it.
Where's the metaphor?
But your letter got to us--
We love you too, Q.
Followed by storytelling;
We have come so far.
Forty-nine hours, two nights,
Three days by your side?
I'm reminded that friends-wise
I'm spoiled rotten.
I give thanks for these two things:
Happiness and life.
