in bed
stricken to the heart by love
despite war’s
flickering images,
sometimes we still touch,
laughing, amazed,
that our flesh

of love

But it helps ... relief,
A body sigh ...
But only...

So Far AwayI Stumble Upon My

We were so far away
from each
other…I-I-I’m one
with
r-regret…f-feeling
incomplete…
I thought our love
was as worthless as

You smoked me out
like a cigarette…and
y-you left me on the
filthy, messed-up
street…
I thought your kind

Gloriously Luxuriating In Eternal SleepGloriously luxuriating in eternal sleep
Forlorn; bereft of golden
(slippered) opportunities I weep;
Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,
