so many things

So Many Things

Spring is in the air

birdsong abounding

and reaches me

here on the patio of my brothers house

little stretch of tucson desert

casts adrift its aromas

and yet winter lingers in my heart

because i am not sharing

this beautiful day with you

i wonder how long it will take

for the heart ache to dull

the emptiness of my hand

tugs at my conscience

i tried to feel your hand in mine

last night while watching sappy romantic comedies

there are so many things to miss about a person.
