If you meet my gaze
You will see our days
Streaming with the stars
And you’ll see my eyes
Brimming with surmise.
Near, and yet so far,
Far away, you stare,
Sitting, unaware,
At that lighted box.
Scratching at the door,
Scuffing up your floor –
I want my evening walks!
O you hard of heart!
Wait till we’re apart –
Then, you’ll moan and sigh.
Leave that box of light,
Take a walk tonight
See me in the sky!
