32

Throughout the night when
I woke up next to you

dreaming of baked cookies

and blueberry cobbler.

Cobbler toppled in my

fathers hands and

I became upset and

Samson was not there.

In the morning I woke up

next to you

I heard words about your 

dreams.

I'm happy you're

here.

I hadn't looked out the window to see
It had rained, only a light drizzle
The window fogged up with condensation
Cool air filled the room as the door opened

Distant clarinets trailed up the front steps
I watched as you walked out the old screen door
In a coon-skin cap you turned and looked up
An electric smile softly glowing

Black eyes shining in the cool May night time
Looking up to meet mine behind windows
Up on the second floor, soft yellow light
Of the holy family right beside me

I know I'll always remember tonight
Distant jazz and laughter hang in the air
