You Need Not Know

House corners sing a wind song to the blues. The air randomly flows with shadow trees. You come to me across the fading fields. The passion in your tired face lights the dusk. I want to tell you, though you bring no flower, That I have all I wanted from the fall, But you press your hand hard against my mouth. The moment is too simple for much speech. You need not know I memorize you, Friend Down to the missing buttons on your coat For wisdom tells me all you have to give Is written in the clean lines of the moon.
