June 1988 - page 3

1.
a screen of obstacles covers my
progress like the summer porches
in which we once relaxed whose
meaning now has negative connotations.

2.
she was like a blast furnace
whose gates of passion had been
raised to warm the frigid coldness,
she became too much for herself
and soon was no longer covered
by her unusually limited warranty.

3.
her problem was in the attitude that
she was to share with his wife and
that sex was exclusively hers to own.

4.
rain hit the ground with force
damaging the spring growth and
our first taste of gardening had
forever been spoiled in our minds.

5.
she watched him leave
saddened by it all,
some she couldn't change,
the one flaw that would
keep her from reaching
a complete independence.

6.
who would she she and
who would she remember?
who would remind her 
of all she mistakes she made?
who would she talk with?
or dance with?
and share her bed?
What would she do if...
it all suddenly came true?
 
7.
there were two hours
a long time to some,
but never enough for
us when together.

8.
They swore to each other it
would never end and all
those thing they learned
later couldn't help them.

9.
once or twice
three times or more
I reached out for you but
your eyes were somewhere else.

10.
it became simple for us
to do our fancy and nothing else
leaving a closeness for lovers.
