One god of two, she chooses From the young faces at the bar While he, her husband? To be or not… Long, lean and known to her every wish Smiles into his cigar Did God post the envelope you open with your lips In a reverse of time?

Just you and me along the prom As far as eye can see Assuming eye can see at all Within this silent storm We could be settled by a fire With crackle-snap of logs Instead, we tread in sodden pools Could dullness get much higher? This masochistic love of dogs Companions of the heart Is strange to fathom, hard to square Yet, seldom we’re … Read More Just you and me along the prom
