First Day of Capricorn © 2012

Photography © 2013 by Heather L. Gibson
driving toward
the noonday moon
steering through tears
for last minute stocking stuffers
every song in every store
was "2000 Miles"
I know Jersey's that far
and Heaven's even farther
and I don't know which
makes me cry more

an old soul friend
called me by a nickname
I haven't heard since college
2 decades
and 10 lifetimes ago

an old childhood pal
told me to hug
my mother for her
and the tears
they keep coming

oh Bonnie Girl
oh Eddie Lad
oh Danny Boy
oh Amy Dear
forgive me my tears
they simply cannot
be stopped today
it's Old Man Saturn's fault
