.<\/p>\n
i have to let myself believe
\nshuffling thru old ashes
\nis better done here than
\nthe new home i’ll occupying
\nsoon enough
\nfar far away from
\nbrambles and fig leaves<\/p>\n
tonights dish a
\ndouble entry:
\n-fiery words written
\nnever mailed so
\nlong ago, but stamped
\nwhen stamps were fifteen cents
\n-fiery mind
\nthat followed me out the door
\npulling on a chainsaw cord<\/p>\n
i have to…
\nfor tears and sleep
\ndo not add up to
\ntwo plus two<\/p>\n
write a dear old friend
\nsurvivor extradonaire<\/p>\n
remember the magic
\nof poetry readings
\nthe dry socks i pulled from my feet
\nfor you when yours were wet and cold
\nthere were no second thought
\nthus was my love
\nand admiration, that, and,
\nit was your bra flag flying
\nfrom a car antenna
\nthat informed me we
\nhad more in common
\nthan common sisters<\/p>\n
yes…me…reaching here
\nfor a happen end of
\nwords reaching
\nbeyond my hand and your time
\nto two smiles
\none for you, one for me<\/p>\n
ok, here’s a funny of today<\/p>\n
a facebook male friend posts:
\n“I decided to stop wearing underwear today.”
\nmy comment, “ah…free…free at last…”<\/p>\n
p.s. i know you’re in a happy place so
\nhere’s thanks for the knowing of you
\nthat helped me thru this night
\nand no no more tears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
