Attended

Gabe, did you hear
your poems read so clear
do you feel the cold
in the morning mists in the mountains

Do you hear the birds at dawn
can you caress the passing fawn
did you hug Blue the cat today
did you feed the family of deer

I read your poems again yesterday
silently immersed in life once was
wishing to send you photographs
but you left no forwarding address

I miss you
I dreamt of you
I heard your voice
in the landscape of my dream
