the end came to soon
much too soon
we weren't sure who
was involved
but when we awoke
the snow was gone.

out from my window the world I see
its landscape peppered with motorcars
and telephone wires and power cables;
out from my window I see her children
inhabitants who must live within the
filth that they have reluctantly created;
our from my window I see her polluted
waters and the monuments erected as
a tribute to her growing commerce;
outside my window the world I see
and easily understand why she cries.

I saw her the other day and
knew she had forgotten me;
we didn't speak in passing
like wind blowing through
the branches of a tree;
my silent memory remains
intact and somewhat tarnished.

I fathered two illegitimate thoughts
a few days past and spoke with
the fiery temper of a drunken Irishman
that have returned to haunt me today.

you lived a careless life
exposing yourself to the
pleasures of what you
thought you would enjoy.

once we were joined
no man could put asunder
but a woman could.

I wanted to know what was
right and what was wrong;
it seems we do what we want
to do not what we should do
and all seem to follow here.

I was available
to be
with you
but,
could not give
you a
definite answer.

like a fish on a line
I brought you in,
like a fish in a pan
I cooked you with love,
and like all food consumed
I passed you from my body
and out of my life.

I have loved many women
thinking each was the one
until another came along.

all I ask is a few minutes each day
a few minutes to play with my thoughts
and put something down on paper,
this I do for you, a diary if you will,
masking what cannot be shown,
a private gallery of words that I can
only admire as I continue to grow old.

a day in my life passes
me by quickly like a
summer rain and stirs
things up as it gets hotter...
a day in my life is
really not much to see.
January 1988
13.
it was later than I realized
and my mind was spinning
like a frozen pinwheel on a
comfortably cold winter day;
I grabbed my thoughts,put
them on like winter gloves,
darted outside, lake for an
appointment with the snow.
