finally out at last...
spent seven 'daze'
in the hospital...
was blacking out
collapsing in a haze...
an 'imp' proved 
to be bacterial...
noticeably better now
glad to be back...

JULY 1969 – Moon landing

There are no wolves
Astir tonight
To chill our fireside man

Has lost her apple eyes

Oh, someone’s plucked
The saucy dish
From out a virgin sky

Her lover’s cool
Bacterial breath
Has blued the Maid’s gold cheeks

And wolves are gone
To howl for her
From woods and mountain peaks...

teaching it a thing or two
about self-existence
and self-sufficiency.

A tiny micro-star
shines so bright in the cold 
deep, dark, dank depths
with insistent, incessant,
self-existent and confounding,
bio-luminescence....
