Dearest,

How is it that

simply listening to a voice

belonging to a man you do not know

dance to a tune that he did not create

with you in mind

makes you feel so loved?

everyday

i want to be fortunate enough

to encounter at least one smile

that i did not cause

so that

everyday

a smile i did not cause

can cause a smile in me.

are seven sparrows twittering out a song

that is your name

backwards and forwards.

forward and backward

your name

is an endless song sung by a host of sparrows

that know not how they got

inside my wormy little head.

your name

is also my love

is also your absence.

inside this wormy little head

curls only your memory.
