Etching the Day
I love a room that overlooks
A river or the sea,
For, on a terrace with some books,
Is where I like to be.
A sunny seat, a view with boats
And birdsong in the air,
A husband who, upon me, dotes -
Why, nothing can compare!

standing in the shadows of surrender...
she etched goodbye in the mist.

Your Latin Radere - the Etching
Beautiful, burnished, brilliant
Yet, my ink friendly inclinations produce a chemical discrepancy
And now, you come – Artist
Scratching, on my polished mental plate
Do not blacken me with your fumigating candle

Ever so lightly, you etch, carefully, penetrating
Acid soaks into your carefully drawn
