Most now
Being lost to memory
The once corner house
Stands tall and alone
Old with gray boards
In a gray field looking
Sad and lonely

My friend and I
Are in long coats with
Brimmed caps reminiscent
Of the nineteen thirties

Chris is bold
Climbs the stairs
Knocks on the door
There are shadows
Of heads suddenly
At all the darkened windows

One apparently a nephew
With an ignorant face
Comes out to stare at us
Saying nothing

In a scene
Change all my friends
More then than I knew I had
Go seeking for you all over town
Insistently asking questions

There is one woman
Finally from the back
Seemingly intelligent
Yet so much taller and whose
Residually slender figure
Is so much younger
Than is conceivably possible
That when she turns around
It only confirms
I do not know her

Still though there was
That long blond hair

And so again
In a warm dream
On a cold night
In late November

Everyone I knew
Still looks for you
Better than you ever were
