In Spirit

There’s been no music,

The electric piano lies still,

ipod idol in its dock.

The house is full, but empty

I can smell you, I can sense you

But you’re not here.

I want to tell you The Cat Empire has a new album.

I planted pots of flowers for your Spring.

Daniel’s growing mushrooms,

Hayden’s safe in Germany,

Lachlan hasn’t stopped wearing his new coat.

We had a party for his 18th.

Everywhere I look I see you.

I cleared up all your shoes today.

Tomorrow we will clear your wardrobe.

I’ve kept some jewelry for the boys.

Bronwyn’s using your scarves in Italy.

Liz has your perfume and some clothes.

What do I do with this heart of mine?

My mind is numb, and my heart beats for you.

Every corner I turn is you.

Busyness cleaning out you

While trying to keep you

In memory and spirit
