to you (me) from me(you)

[_box_spring_hog]

I saw your light was on
I drove by
but not too far out of my way.

I wanted to see your candle burning
to know you were ok.
are you ok?

I wanted to write you a million words,
couldn't seem to squeeze but a few out.
You are about to ask me a million questions anyhow.

You took a photograph of me
in my brothers clothes.
You took a picture of my back, I talked to a man eating corn.

When I helped him the first time
rain dissolved the instructions
the paint was pretty, but didn't hold up.

You helped me help him the second time
The paint held through the rain
I was busy and in love.

You say too much.
You are a bad poker player.
You hate poker.

When I saw you under the tent, in the rain.
I had a look in my eye, could you tell why?
I bet you couldn't, I bet you are still wondering.

Ten Bottles
Saved From
The Landfill.
At Least
Something Has
Been Done
Maybe Not
Saving Everyone

but just a few. enough. It's all I can ask, all I can do.

My eyes are as large as my heart
I will throw my arms around everything
you included.
