I wish

you were

here with me

///

An ocean apart, you fell

An ocean apart, you felt

Emerald hills, westward skies

Your ash dusts the roots

Planted you

I touch the Atlantic

Endless, empty

Tides blend with my eyes

You’re on the other side

Lost you at Land’s End

Closest you’d ever get

November lets you rest

Scent of cold and pine

Cold and pine

False hemlock

False hemlock

Grows uphill, miss you still

False hemlock, bark like skin

Feels so thin, paper thin

It’s just not the same

Call it what it is 4x

Heaven knows I’m not the only one losing sleep

Left me things to keep

I’ve only got this tree 4x
