Emerging back just when they should.

A guy who lived near Sausalido,

Perplexed by rejections for last dance

My loves
I missed you terribly
Your bright eyes

So forward I look to being with all of you
I am your teacher

     to get drunk and start fights

For each divine lit self.

Or is it I'm just hemmed in by
An age's fanciful
If never to be improved upon
Projection of itself?...

Last year I thought I'd give 
  my 'eager' spouse a palliative

Whenever he was in 'the mood for love'
  You know where I gave him a shove

This year, sure enough, he's much improved

The locusts yet screech after dawn
  While the buzzard cackles from his perch
The red sun's inflamed in the morn

her looks had now improved.
To know her as a younger child
were memories I'd removed.

Where beauty built up over time,

now know- it was inside....
