For John Christenson
Greg Salwen

Outside the snow covers the groundnAnd there’s no traces left of what we said all those years agonLet alone lack of footprints in the snownIt’s flat as these past weeks have been ever since you’ve grownnI guess I’m not making tracks at allnBut I’ve been sitting looking at the winter wishing spring would comennSo I don’t have to force myself to go outside and prove nTo live is easy and to live happy is just as close to younThe children are young enough to know there’s nothing else to losenExcept a heart that just needs love and air, and that will donBut it gets fogged up as age sets in and impatience breedsnCraved is the soul who doesn’t know that time is self-conceivednThe more you make of it the longer life appears to benReligion gives you what you want but love gives you what you neednnAs soon as April comes aroundnI’m begging something somewhere out there to help July come homenSoon kids are walking without clothesnMaybe it’s the rising sun, or the horizon down the roadnCome day they’ve missed out on the moonnThrough crescent, gibbous, half, and full they only dread the newnnKeeping the date logged in a notebook for all to readnIt gives reason to look away; even keep our fingers busynThe children are young enough to know that all spaces need not be fillednSilence might surprise you, and forced smiles just make you illnSo some who felt it went and took it to the other extremenTearing away at what is sacred for the sake of beingnA little more adventurous or dangerously naivenReligion gives you what you want but love gives you what you neednnReligion gives you what you want but love gives you what you needn
