My own private concert
The Catbird signs
From his perch on the limb
You wouldn’t think I was crazy
If you could see
He is singing right to me
In the last days of June
The straw flowers in bloom
The bramble berries blacken on the vine
And I am thinking about you
I know you’ll be here soon - and in so many ways you are already with me
And with me in your heart, I am in safe company
But I really thought you would be here
Picking the bramble berries with me
What if in the meantime I make some jam
Heat and stir and conjure of a plan
Every seed will represent something you love about me
Every stir brings our love closer into being
