Another Numberless Attempt



If you were here I'd ask you for the highlight of your year

and offer you complete control of the radio. I'd have a book

of poems, letters, lyrics, songs, memories, and wishes for you


that took the whole year to write. Your face would be etched

in snow and your name painted on the freeway overpass.

I would scream the words "I love you" from the roof and

sing "Happy Birthday" from the coffee table like I did when

we were kids. If you were here I'd wrap up the world


and leave it on your pillow

because you deserve it.


But you're not here anymore, are you love?

Happy birthday Darling
