When you didn’t claim me
and tossed me on the wind
I let the rain un-name me
and sting my callow skin
But now the storm is closing
And I hear you walking in
In that old sheep’s clothing
Just like you wore back then

Calming a wild unsettled plain
Cautious and cold and reticent
But when the rain blacks the clouds
and the thunder shakes the ground

And pinned its promises to you
But soon I heard the intimations
And hints in the way you moved
So I wrote you pages of airtight explanations
But left out everything I knew
