{..}<\/p>\n
the sweetest words
\ni’ve ever heard
\nwhen away so long
\nyou missed most
\nmy laugh
\ni did not hear you then
\ni do now
\nthere is a knowing
\nwe’ve been ’round before
\nlike Harry Chapin
\ni don’t remember when
\nguessing you do
\nfrom the veil’s other side
\n(one of those exceptions you know
\nwhen the i is not before the e)
\nyes Jasmine is doing fine<\/p>\n
meals at the Adobe Springs
\nyou played classic guitar
\nand Bach…i was awed<\/p>\n
our first meeting
\ni tapped you on the back you said,
\n“who are you”<\/p>\n
that was my first laugh
\ni’d never seen you before either
\nmy clue was your guitar<\/p>\n
had it not been the Frenchman
\ngoogling my eye i might
\nhave seen you who<\/p>\n
who became a best friend
\na wild zen flower<\/p>\n
i will see you again perhaps
\nwhen we will write a play
\nopera? musical? old style?
\nor brand new?<\/p>\n
perhaps is the best i can do
\nthe far away and the
\nunknown, si, no se<\/p>\n
i say goodnight
\nthis middle of the night
\nto you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
