Poem: With Will & Catherine Blake

 Poem:

With Will & Catherine Blake

to Dan Carr

 

Listen, listen in the woods,

Their voices speak gentle to each other

Of the life they lived together, though their graves are apart.

 

While the pigeons spin their love call in little circles

And eat the seeds that are spread on the ground,

I discuss the future with and without you.

 

It was here we came, to Bone Hill those years ago,

Looking for the same things I seek today,

Only now the gate is open

But you are not here

To walk among the graves with me.

 

It’s raining, my heart …

Take your weary feet home again,

Out of the rain, out of the rain.
