If I could
chase away
the watchers
in the yard
the voices
in the night
If I could
drop everything
fix the phone
fix the bookcase
find your friends,
make it work
If I could
find the lost
you can’t describe
move the things
you never saw
put it back
If I could
say where she went
where he went
why we’re here
and not there
wherever there
might be
If I could
know what
you’d eat
what you won’t
what you’d wear
or not and when
If I could
I’d change
your world
give it shape
and harmony
I’m sorry, love
I truly am
I only wish I could
