something held onto me tonight
and bade me write;
but it’s gone

perhaps
in the light of
that absence

it’s time for me to go

yes, I did start it

3/21/06

the ironies and similarities of
this cold night shine through and true like
the feeling of you the last in an empty room

which was the only way I’d have it;
no-one else but you at the end

and
though
it’s just me tonight in another empty room
a little farther away
perhaps this time I’ll do things right
