It’s been ages

Jeremy, I still do not
know where you are.
it’s been 30 ripe years
I trust those bad habits
are dead and buried.
my wife is with child now.
are you still a bird?
do you still fly? do you sing still?
you left on a boat. i still wander
around river sides for when the tides would
sweep you back to us.
I would have said you’re a whirlwind
but you are a whirlwind,
and a fitting frame
for any picture.
