Days like this
When the sun shines
Through bright blue sky
As ELO bursts out of the radio
And birds sing as they fly
And I speed past signs
It’s you I miss

Days like this
When the swings creak
And wild laughter echoes
As the grass flicks flakes into the air
Sifting through the nose
No more the rosy cheek
It’s you I long to kiss

Days like this
When the circling angst stabs
And the pleas fly from every angle
Spreading their stench in my pristene sheets
When I fear the wringed hand strangle
Ringed by speeding taxi cabs
I seek your abject bliss
