Wait for me<\/span><\/p>\n

at the top of the old stairs<\/span><\/p>\n

where the creaks are the loudest<\/span><\/p>\n

and splinters catch your nightgown<\/span><\/p>\n

as you walk up to bed<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By the old water pump<\/span><\/p>\n

wait for me<\/span><\/p>\n

to talk of fairies and nymphs<\/span><\/p>\n

that play in the creek bed<\/span><\/p>\n

known only to you<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the old back porch<\/span><\/p>\n

where the old men waste time<\/span><\/p>\n

wait for me<\/span><\/p>\n

as the sunsets<\/span><\/p>\n

and the men have gone to dinner<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the middle of the strawberry rows<\/span><\/p>\n

when the heat begins grow<\/span><\/p>\n

on your straight tan back<\/span><\/p>\n

wait for me<\/span><\/p>\n

to kiss your toes<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deep in the woods<\/span><\/p>\n

at the edge of the property<\/span><\/p>\n

cool even in the heat of the day<\/span><\/p>\n

and dim enough to hide our secrets away<\/span><\/p>\n
