how can she just reappear like this
... was I waiting
the past few weeks have felt like years
falling into my sad places
they are there when you need them
the fears still surface
I withdrew my stance
walked away from you ....like a cold man
there was reason in my eyes , you could not see
twelve rings from the bell tower
signals and signs
I give in
total release from  my minds restrictions
the standards of fake faces
can I still find you
in those crowded rooms , smoke filled
and plenty of booze
hope for direction in this play
sidewalk...talk.....downtown stops
and streetlights echo my childhood

Jo picked the lines that resounded in me...
she's good at that.

Well done, Sir!

Hey James,

I am listening to the Wallflowers . . .
how appropriate - this reminds me of
6th Avenue Heartache . . . and a couple of ghosts I have been trying to avoid myself . . .

I have missed you . . .
