oh, the things i would do

i would sing her a lullaby

in the trees at night by my house

the wolves circling hungrily below

i would make her omelets

in the kitchen while she bathed 

in the pool in the back yard

i would call her to madrid

eventually knowing the end

was just around the corner

i would build her a sunday

one saturday afternoon

the cherries covering the floor

i would let her know

what i was feeling

years after she had left

on her answering machine

the drink in my hand

falling into the carpet
