Wake

For what do we repent?
Hasty words, a hasty heart.

How do we compensate for these things?
A little love, a little time. More patience.

By what are we known?
A lingering smile, kind words. A joie de vivre. Impulsivity, bleeding and open heart, big watchful eyes.

Where do we seek purity?
In moonlight filtering through a crystalline leaf. In sleep.

Whom do we expect to attend?
About 30, maybe 40 who knew me best. This is an academic question.

To what do we drink?
Love and life, the laughter of angels and inopportune moments. The spun gold of your lies.
