Dear John

watered and watered this garden
as I tightrope this strange line
turn my body into an arch
so the cars can pass through
the coffee pot screams
as tears stream down its back
and I wait years and years
for you to re-enter this home
I know there’s a war
your platoon is deeply devoted to fighting
but dear John I wish you’d
send me a postcard sometime
I can’t wait here at the altar
for another 20 years
at some point I’m gonna break
a scurried run to the hospital
I’m so scared she’ll cross that bridge
everything around me has gone silent
I’m looking outside for a bird
but I remember that it’s you
you’d never send me a pigeon
anxiety rises, a marathon starts
Dick Delaware rivals you
I know there’s a war
your platoon is deeply devoted to fighting
but dear John I wish you’d
send me a postcard sometime
I can’t wait here at the altar
for another 20 years
at some point I’m gonna break
there’s a world you’ll never see
buried six feet under within me
colors you’ll never grasp
a magic you could never have
asking me to fix your brain
my dear, these hands are willow trees
I’m building lists and memories
that I know are only dreams
a desperate joke to get you to notice me
another blow to my knees
something tells me I gotta go
it’s getting late, the carriage turned
you’ve shifted to someone I don’t know
and I’m gold
I know there’s a war
your platoon is deeply devoted to fighting
but dear John you should’ve
sent me a postcard once
I won’t wait here at the altar
for another 20 years
I won’t break myself for you
