There in the window I stood watching all the rain smooth out the streets like glass, reflecting in front of me. My face was tired and mystified, and I could not recognize the unsettledness beneath my eyes and I wished I was a child again.
When I was just a boy I'd walk all afternoon and find about a dozen stones then give them all to you. You, in the house somewhere, you'd watch me coming home and you'd take my gifts and cherish them, you keep them even now. My pure & simple offerings were all that I could give so I gave them to you gratefully, my father who I love.
Strong, able lover, will I ever be a patient as you are, still giving endlessly? You are my father and I will ever be as faithful as a child, returning as the leaves to a tree.
