Postcard from N.Y.

(about 1993)

On that postcard
you sent on my birthday
from N.Y.
I felt
reading between the lines
that you were
lonely.
Surrounded by faces,
but none who
believed in your dreams,
shared your thoughts.

There are
friends here, people
who have believed in me;
But you aren't here,
and tonight
you are more with me
than they.
