The Pain of Reunion

Posted in Uncategorized on July 28th, 1979

A shattered vase, once
Mended, breaks more easily
At a gentle touch.

The Heart of Summer

Posted in Uncategorized on July 3rd, 1979

For almost two weeks the sun set at eight-thirty,

To my knowledge the latest

The sun ever sets in these parts.

Sweet hours of subdued sunlight

Gently shaded into violet skies

And from thence to skies the hue of deepest passion,

Pastel hours made for grateful contemplation outside

Carressed by mellow breezes.

The gift was too soon gone.

Nobody seemed to know or care.
