An infectious moment
worth a thousand words
I got home and took a bite
of the pie I bought
at the filling station
along the way, but then
didn\'t want anymore of it
when you came back to me
Had I a camera then
I would have taken
a color picture;
that visual impression
of you waving me goodbye
from the roadside, behind the house
got so woven into me,
for I realized in that farewell bid
you were giving me
a piece of yourself
Till we see each other again Tebo
so much I took from it
that all water became blood
and got so sentimental
that though it was time to leave
all of it was enough
It\'s these sort of things
that remind me why sometimes
I yearn to be left alone, vulnerable
to my demons, anguish and music -
By your simple act of love
my fabric was enriched, Tebo
