For Kate

I want you to know
That I understand
And I'd love to give myself
But I can't find that man.
Madness is inconvenient
Creative, cruel, and Indifferent
I'd wish her away
Teach her love if I could
Ask her to give me one day alone with you
But she holds fast her mysteries
and keeps her own secret schedule
and what I want or think or wish for
Isn't part of her agenda.
Love me if you're brave
Keep your distance if you must
Remember me when the sun sets on the earth.
And I will see you again.
When.
