I know he’s sketching birds again tonight

Some cartoon ravens croaking nevermore

His hand flies freely in the dimming light.

I can’t really see him—just dreamsight.

He’s three states away. I slammed that door.

But I know he’s sketching birds again tonight.

I didn’t even try. I didn’t fight

To keep what we had going, beg for more

Of hands roaming on me in the dimming light.

I got more than I asked for. Fled in fright

From a loaded horse in my own Trojan war

And now he’s sketching birds alone tonight.

Could be I’ll make it better, make it right.

Could be too late to swim for his soft shore.

My hands waving—or drowning—in the dimming light.

I can’t enjoy the tour perks anymore

I can’t remember who I was before

He’s sketching birds again tonight

And I reach for his hand in dimming light.
