In life he was ever oppressed
but always gave life a hard time...
Old man still a child
rubs mist from a tram window...
You dance, leading me rhythmically,
in a slow waltz at three/four time...
Already dead tree
provides a safe nesting site...
Sorcerous arcs slashed the vast night
craven blades, as cruel as their light...
It's a husband's job
to misconstrue his wife's tastes...
Counting again - dammit:
steps, calories, lights, days...
These rocky mountains are now hers;
flowers - subtle myths of childhood...
Hardly exciting,
first ice cream truck of Summer...
A father's a man
who gets his own birthday cake...
I was a young man
and I spoke in symbols...
My love for you, child,
is boundless as the sea...
