Present

for Kaye

Full of the future and
In Texas up a tree
The world fresh in your hand
But you don't quite know it
You remind me of me
Young friend fellow poet

Grandma called from the porch
She was wondering where
You were
I was glad you were there
With her

I could feel that the torch
Of the land I once knew
Was still burning
In you

And it turned my despair
Into yearning
