Heart’s bounding like a hare
If you go, I’m going, too
It’s an art, letting go
Our ending d(r)i(v)es up there
In your old cabin that you
Inherited when young
Not old enough to care
It’s all that’s left, once our home
In mountain wilderness
But once is better, I’ll
Admit, better way up there
Back where we let it all
Get serious with this
Relentless, “Give me a call
When I’m out in Denver”
Your discretion never
Let us share what autumn
Tumbled falls we’d leave when
You got called back to her
Wife and kids in your picture
Framed little dears, headlights
Making last night so clear
Rained all night, into dawn’s bright
Taking all I’d wanted
Making us have no right
To feel what happened to be
So sweet when we opened
Our wounds and each scar seemed
For a moment to be healed
The sound of leaping feet
Tears keeping our window
Clean so that we could see it
That little hare’s sorrow
Running past, through the field
Back to forests thick with fear
But there’s no tomorrow
And you should know nothing
Scares me anymore, so we’re
Running for no reason
But you’re gone, I’m leaving
And if you wanted to hear
Me sing, you’d be the one
