EVER MET ?

Ever met

A dog whining

In a lonesome street

Where

Silence of heart

Is corrupt

With the whisper of lust ?

TOGETHER ! FOREVER !!

I have certainly

no faith in miracles, yet I long

That when death comes to take me

From this great song

Of a world ; it permits me to return


To your door once, and knock

And knock

And call out :


"If you need someone

To share your anguish, your simplest pain,

Then let me be the one.


If not, then let me again

Embark - This time never

To return -


In the final direction

Forever"

GUILT

The knarled knotted palm
Painfully outstretched
Sought just alms ....


Yet, I would not
Could not .....

Face
His poverty-eaten face


Only sought to escape ..........


From him ??


From the guilt of
My radiant health
My tightly-held
Undeserved wealth !!
