farther away…
maybe gone for good…
looking outside…
a train whistle wails…
where are you..

are you alone…
in the garden we once walked…
geraniums…a white flower…
a diner…eating cherry pie…
where are you…

oh whiskey girl…
i look for you…
small taverns where toasts were made…
sheets…Navajo blankets…under beds…
where are you…

wanting…
waiting…
sirens sound
winds blow…
where are you…

this dark room…
haunted by your absence…
tis midnight…
you are gone…
and you are gone…
