Dear Ann

Now that I’ve passed
From ape to saint
At the speed of a bullet
Through my head
The nation is unwilling to believe
I could have married a woman
I didn’t love

Somehow it wants to think
You were too slight and I too strong
To allow my heart to go along
To keep you company in the night

I hope you’ve kept it near your own
I tried to do as would honor you
And now the trial is done

Please light the path
And call my name
I am finally coming home

Oh Ann
Just to dwell on that
Makes me unafraid

How I’ve missed you
All this time

Love
Abe
