Brendon
You used to do skate board tricks.
So I sent padded gloves,
Black leather to wrap up your wrists and around your fore arms.
You used to play guitar.
So I got you something electric
V shaped to play loud and hard.
You used to run through the reservoir woods.
So I went bringing you bottles of delicious new wine.
You used to like earl grey tea.
So I sent a porcelain teapot,
Green with creature faces from Ireland.
You used to worship the goddess.
So I gave you a dagger,
Rose wood handle, cow hide sheath –
Aged by hunting blood –
Stained by my own youth.
