Springburn - You Tell Me

Heard you were in the hospital and might not be the same

From the swirling chatter without and within

I was tricked by that anglepoise frame

Looking out for you near the subway

You’d laugh in disbelief

If I told you the impact you made

It’s all there already

Cooling in a patch of shade

Under a woollen hat, suspicion into smiles

Coat kept on for warmth or easy escape

Turning your phrases with honest surprise

Hands weighed down, an ochre tinge

You’d laugh in disbelief

If I told you the impact you made

It’s all there already

Cooling in a patch of shade
