Game

~ Harlan Didrickson

In life

We tend

To not

Remember much

We tend

To remember

Things a

Look a

Smell a

Touch all

Really meant

To provoke

What you

Ask and

What you

Really meant

You know

Let’s play

YouThing (to Bean)

~ Harlan Didrickson

This thing

That I

Reach for

This thing

That I

Seek this

Thing not

Anything that

I grasp

You thing

Not anything

RightNow (to Bean)

~ Harlan Didrickson

Wait

Right now

In this

Quiet time

When I

Hear your

Breath here

Right now

When I

Feel your

Heart and

Here right

Now when

I know

You’re gone

It’s always

Been here

And right

Now not

Later or

Before but

Here and

Right now

IWish

~ Harlan Didrickson

I wish

I was

There now

Beside you

Listening I

Wish that

I’d held

You moments

Longer and

I wish

That you’d

Be mine

Not someone

Else’s or

An afterthought

But mine

My one

And only

OtherHalf (to Bean)

~ Harlan Didrickson

You tell

Me to

Look at

The moon

And see

What your

Face the

Glow do

You brighten

My night

What am

I supposed

To see

Someone else

Besides you

Are you

Not my

Moon glow

My sunshine

Do you

Not fill

My night

With desire

And my

Day with

Joy are

You not

This thing

Or that

Are you

Not my

Other half
