Killing Time in Bulverde - James Duncan

I was at work when you died, probably sending

an email about a project missing its deadline

no one wanted me to know until I was home

I understand, what else would I have done but

walk outside my office in Bulverde, listen to the

wind rattle dead brambles, oaks, hours in the sun
