It’s peaceful now. The afternoon is still.
The street is quiet. Voices very dear
Reach up the stairs, caress me like a thrill
From heaven. I am home and you are here.
The windows are grimy: I think of you
And they’re translucent suddenly
The day is grey but with a few...
Twenty years ago – this very time
What stage you were, I don’t recall –
Cassie was on the way...
