Four. Four and a half.
A crimson, wistful laugh.
Four score & many more.
Effects & Ideas to soar.


Far away & still nearby.
I’ve never understood why.
I can’t fathom; I’ll never believe.
So much. I couldn’t want to sieve.


Keep you close & let you go.
I’m scared, I will never know.
Sail across the seven seas.
Ponder. Halt where I should be.



Except I don’t know. I would not
want to be at that unsought.
I climb, I fall.
You make me feel so small.


I want you to leave, I never want you gone.
Miles apart , shivering , lost, forlorn.
