Knock, knock.
Go away!
No one is home!
She packed up
drove to Montana
or some place
quiet.
Maybe Indiana
to wander through
corn fields
listening to crows
and the whisper
of the wind's secrets.
Maybe she went
maybe
...
Does anyone know
or care
...
Knock, knock.
Go away.
She is gone.
You might see her
behind that wall
if you peek over the top
and down to the left
I think she is hiding
in the iris
or are those
delphinums
I don't know
She waters them
with her tears
I think.
...
She doesn't know
how much we care
...
Knock, knock
Go away.
No
I have a key
I am here
at your side
holding you
reaching through
that small crack
in your wall.
...
I love you
you know
...
