The Evening Mysteries
I feel down by the carport,
Then you come, and feel too,
Before all the inhabitants
Agree to make me brighter,
Though you may be
With them, memories
Of others take my place
Away from me,
I have your buildings,
And have taken
Love of colors, purple
As well as orange, away,
Reminders for myself come
In muttering mantras
That echo by the car door,
I am so strong, beneath all craft.
