For/From Lew

 Lew Welch just turned up one day,
live as you and me.
 "Damn, Lew" I said,
"you didn't shoot yourself after all.
"
"Yes I did" he said,
and even then I felt the tingling down my back.

"Yes you did, too" I said—"I can feel it now.
"
"Yeah" he said,
"There's a basic fear between your world and
mine.
 I don't know why.

What I came to say was,
teach the children about the cycles.

The life cycles.
 All other cycles.

That's what it's all about, and it's all forgot.
