Passage and Mantle - S. Hunter McNair

 "i wrote always.
i wrote as i could.
i wrote to keep up appearances.

then wrote til i forgot.
 
i wrote to you
to keep up with that

always found a way
to keep up with that

kept up with you
new clouds 
and appearances

i wrote of fast skies
and vantage points
but never without it
never without time 

time that was never
without a cloud in the sky 
or a vantage point

never a time without
new clouds
or fast skies
or appearances

i did though
i remember
i wrote always

then i wrote til i forgot

about new clouds
fast skies
and vantage points
all of it
i wrote as i could

wrote it all to you now
to keep up with that."
