Radio

I know the plans
I have for you!
I hear you declare

Plans to prosper
Not to harm you
Plans to give you hope
A future

I will be thine always
Then you will call on me
I will come and implore
I will listen for you
You will seek me
And find me when?
With all your heart

Is there nothing more dangerous
Than to forget our own strength
Distrust our own feelings
What even of fervor

If we are angry
If we are full of malice
If I am capable of hate
I am committing
The most enormous crimes
And I need you
Because I hurt

So many words we don’t use anymore
We don’t have to ask for them
It’s just given to us

I hear you I see you
We are together
I burn for you

I raise my hand
Expose my palm
I solemnly swear

Some will not believe
That you came to me
Through frequency
Change the radio
As I hold your pillow
In full clarity oscillation
A crystal clear pause

Between two limiting
Frequencies we are
In the radio spectrum

Here plus
There equals
Together

Miserly tactics
Listening to the wind
Orange helicopters floating
In the sky like fried chicken
Two old friends on the line
Talking about how I had
Two sisters now
An old man gets into a car
That he thinks is his
And I can’t place the face of
Previous neighbors that I haven’t
Seen in a long while but
They both know me
I touched her grandchild’s
Beautiful curly hair
Mixed baby I didn’t ask
She was in a shopping cart
But I knew it was ok to
She pulled away
I found her grandma outside
Once again happy to say
Many returns of the day
Psychologically mostly spent
But before I left still not ready
To say everything was okay
And felt pushed back even by the
Forgiveness that was waiting for me
Ah, well that’s how it goes
Things get canceled
Changed and rearranged
Getting comfortable with the inevitable
Was never really his forte
I would pull myself away to help
This lost soul find his car
Rather than stand around to
Finish a conversation that was
Intended to make me feel better
We could always come back to that
Or would we in the end?
Complaisant isn’t it
I never entered the conversation
Static fuzz is all it was
Radio silence
