Undecided by time and hands,
The joke is on you, she said,
Making her last demands,
Leaving the dead
Tomorrows
For the dumb wits
And their sorrows,
In tragic bits
In photographs . . .

He'd come here with her once,
They'd walked along the beach,
Hand in hand, whispering
Words, laughing into that
Chill wind of the season,
Gazing into the eyes,
Dark pools mirroring . . .

It would have been Right about now That he'd come in And kiss your shoulder
As you laid in bed And whisper words Softly in your ear Bending next to you
Having just entered The bed Causing . . .

There is always that shadow thing, She said, that feeling that he's still There, even though you know he's dead
And fled this dreary place, still see His face in the fine faces of Others similar . . .

They had passed
Upon this
Grove before,
Beneath that
Sun and blue
Expanse of
Sky, him there
Smiling, she
Shy, walking
And talking,
Listening
To birdsong,
Holdings hands, . . .

You often wonder
Where it all went wrong
And why the expanse
Of sky darkened with
The coming of the
Words: no longer love
You, in fact, never
Did, just needed to
Have you about me

It was that last summer
With the cry of seagulls
And the ships out at sea
And the horizon blue
Upon blue of the sea
And sky and Milton and
You walking hand in hand
On the deep sand and . . .

Wendy wondered.
Wendy waited for someone to come,
But no one did.
Her aunt, promised
She'd be taken in,
Cared for, loved,
Promised her.
But no one came.
She stood outside . . .

She couldn't quite get it all together,
Couldn't make it fit. The world, at least her
Aspect of it, seemed to fall apart, come
Undone at the seams, revealing her frail
Naked soul . . .

Beyond that church there
By the small statue of an angel
She lies still. Flowers are fading.
Moss has staked a claim
On the small stone
That holds her name.
Hours he sits and stares
Guessing . . .

“Bring them home,”
She said. “Let them roam
No more on foreign lands;
Or be bloodied by other hands,
Or bloody minds with deeds
Too dark, which feeds
The nightmares of their sleep.

What was this thing
Called love? She mused, wanting to bring
More light on her life
And her role as a wife.
Joey had the looks
The shine, the funny hooks
That held his jokes,
The smiles, the . . .

She would have it all again,
But this time without the pain
And sad betrayal of him
Across the years, and wasted
Days and nights, and poured out tears
For injuries received, words

She lay still on the bed
And let the sad thoughts float
Around her head, wondered
What he was doing now
And who with and what she
Was like and whether she
Was younger or older
And still . . .

It's at times like this,
While drying your hair,
After a shower or long soak,
That you think what a fool you've been,
What a joke he's made of you
With his funny ways

You always knew him better After a drink, he seemed more human then, Seemed more like the guy You loved once, seemed sexy In that way he had before the rot.
You always made love better After . . .

Shall this love always be? You asked, letting your hair down, Opening your eyes wide, Smiling like a huge God bless.
But he merely nodded, Murmured something About how late it was, And had . . .

Let the shadows
Be our dying friends
And moon and stars
Our long lost loves.
Let sun and heat
Be our touching lips,
Mars and Jupiter
Our forgotten days.
Let your words be food
For heart and mind,

Where have you taken her?
Over whose lands
Have you travelled? Whose hands
Have taken her small
Hands in theirs? Did she call
Or ask for us? Does she
Stare at each face and see
None but strangers, not . . .
