Wandered tonight through a city as ruined as a body with broken ribs and a bared heart. Looked for you there with cookies in my pocket, searched for a sigh, for movement in demolished streets and alleys. Tonight since I’d forgotten for a moment where you are, I searched for you with hope in my bones. But no matter how I lured you with my voice and my eyes, walls of debris grew up steadily around you, cellars seemed to creep around you. I remained alone with those cookies in my pocket and kept calling and walking.
