must_be_wyoming
deb this blank page looms before me
and i wonder where
all the good ideas have gone-
i had a couple thousand when i began-
i cannot seem to remember
what it is i meant to say
for your face hovers in
the forefronts of my mind-
you sleep now,
too far from me,
as i grapple with emotions i've tied down-
my eyes burn from the tears
you wished away

i wish i could be there now
to watch the way you sleep-
to smooth that stray hair from your cheek,
cover your shoulder when you shiver
slightly
-so small you didn't even notice-
i wish i could drape upon your shoulder
and watch you wake up
with that squinting smile i adore,
those bursts of brown drowned out
in a sea of greenish-blue-

i miss you baby- 		010106

deb wyoming...
where all the extra socks
and the lost buttons
and the earring backs
and the other little things
that run away
never to return...
wyoming,
the state that does NOT exist
(we were going to make a
documentary about that
and it was going to end
when we got to the
"welcome to wyoming" sign) 		010112
what's it to you?
