For Gary
Messages
From you
Tangle up in my heart
Like overgrown shrubbery
And vines around the house.
At night
I wait for your carrier calls.
I know
You are on trees
At edges of clearings.
In meadows and pastures
Along roadsides.
Your songs
Mix with the sweet wet
Almost autumn air.
Ash leaves floating on ponds.
The waning gibbous moon.
Sometimes when
The stars are most luminous
Your tone
Is round with hope.
And I know if love could be heard,
It would sound just like that.
