Wishes

I wish I could be a bigger person,

I wish I could wish you well,

 

But I honestly hope

Every song, every note

Every poem, every joke

Every love that we wrote

Every word that we spoke

All the fields and the flowers

The horses and trees

Lake days in hammocks

And warm summer breeze

Museums full of art

That we promised to see

The places we’d travel

The people we’d be

The wild and rural

And alien things

Everything cosmic

And butterfly wings

The taste of witchcraft  

That our lips used to bring

Obsidian stones

And tiger’s eye rings

My well-loved guitar

With even more well-loved strings

Every blank canvas

Still begging for art

Like ink spilled and etched

Ever deep in our hearts

Like the anchors forever

Skin deep in our arms

If you ever do find

A more permanent remedy

I wish you pure happiness 

That brings back every memory

That at one point in time

You had me entirely
