A Letter To Eleanor

We,
Observers of things forgotten,
Poets of unspoken tongues,
Lovers of love lost, 
Have adjourned.

I shall love you,
Because I can,
And I shall lie,
Because I can.

We will rise 
From where flowers once bloom’d,
And take this world with
August Benevolence.

And I shall call for you,
Because I can,
And I shall loathe you,
Because I can.

We,
Climbers of collapsing structures
Of songs and sonnets,
Have together for the end
And the beginning
Adjourned at haste.

I shall miss you,
Because I can,
And I shall weep,
Because I can.
