Fifty seven years

I would stand in James Deans garden
and shout out his letters
into night that filled him up
and through windows he sat behind,

alone,

or with someone to pass the time.

I would shout them out,
each louder than the last
until I spoke louder
than the voices that told him no.
And I would stay
until his garden filled with morning
and he felt a little lighter too.
