A Frame. A Light

Breath held by the door on
Damp-dust window sills
Be awake!
No. I Can't
I Can
The silence tells the truth
Why did I wait?
Be awake
No I can't
I can

Grey from cinder
Kiln-words in the fire
Grey from cinder
Kiln-words in the fire
"Alone"

Across from me
An empty frame
But light against the wall
Your light against the wall
Come home to me!
Come home to me!
Your light against the wall
Your light against the wall

Oh so long ago
Oh so long ago
Oh so long ago
Oh so long ago

Be awake
