lyrics
You were a head wind
Or the turn onto The Avenue
From the North Side of the Common
When I feel the air get colder
I hope you step on a plug
But most of all I hope
You find meaning and fulfillment
And the strength to prevail
And to forgive, as you are forgiven.
Because you are loved
That’s the message I carved into the bench
(in case the moss obscures those letters
or my keys were too blunt
or my hand was too clumsy
to make them out clearly enough,
or in case you never revisit,
and perhaps you’ll never hear this
or know that I’m addressing you,
although I think it’s probably
obvious enough)
The bench on the hill with the view
Of that phoenix cathedral,
Saint dad, saint brother,
On the far side, in the middle, on the far right side of the middle beam
Read it and know it
And remember it forever:
You are loved, ever so gratefully,
Eternally, softly goddammit!
You are loved!
