sorry to waken you
in silence

the muse

    quotes music fiction verse
    tasty bits recordings stories poetry









If you died before sunrise,
The wind
would be new
to my side
when I go walking.
My jokes
would hang
in stillness.
The words
passed between us
would lie
on my chest
at night.
And
I would never know
the nothing
that was wrong,
yet had you crying
when I came home tonight.

1988










don’t like it here?
tell me why
