The Reply Came Swiftly

The reply came swiftly

As swift as my next thought

the answer is in your desire

you do what you want

You can’t let go

because you know

You know that

that leaves you drifting

drifting on an uncertain wind

through the harshest reality

you’ve probably

ever been in

with nothing

left from home

but the memory

the memory

of the laugh

she let

me

hear

Thank you,

dear

For calling back,

and

Happy New Year
