WAKE from Music Box by post office winter

Woolen whiskers
fuzzy mittens
foggy glasses
neck is bitten
paint-stained fingers
tired iris
paper puppets
safe desires

I would hang up your raincoat
I could stay by your bedside
just to fight off your nightmares

Trains and busses
boats and airplanes
mountain fire
bike in the rain
heated blanket
summer solstice
duck pond bathtub
clenches his fist

I would watch through the glass
I would stay by your window
who will cast you a shadow?

Making breakfast
turning pages
close the shutters
leather cases
snowy footprints
chirping chorus
whispers to the
silent forest

I would cross all the railroads
I could keep all your chairs warm
just to hear you again

Mother, sister
sons and daughters
she runs faster
through the water
tossing, turning
tracing, dreaming
eyeless faces
wake up screaming

And I would give you my teapot
I would iron your nightgown
just to make sure you get home
