Write

Paul Klobusicky 1951 (Scranton)

Free verse
If I could write to you a day tomorrow
Yet I haven't read your last letter...
What silence would it bring to thee
Shameful as I am free...

To return a thought
I let pass...
How would I explain
Or deny...

I can't refrain from
Thoughts of you...
It's quite insane
Nor does it cause pain...

I will close my write
Knowing your heart...
Is alone as mine
Until I read to write...
