to my wife


through the airwaves
I heard you as you spoke
4000 miles of culture shock
cut short in land of Kroc

I imagine you for all you are
brightest European star
fruitful tree of Danube born
fruits that dress you and adorn

wishes coming
needs unmet
you lack a hand
when putting to bed

need to work
at midnight hour
to not succomb
to illness sour

need to rest
your weary head
’fore morning breaks
and gets ahead

need to love
those needy boys
help them sort
the heap of toys

I wish to love you
in ways regaled
to make up
all the times I failed

you speak --
I hear your words
but more than that:
I hear your voice
