hey, just read it. will have to see about getting a copy. maybe i can see it sometime. i need me a long drive or long hike. as long as it's long and there are few/no people and no computers or phones.

i think i'm beginning to feel old, too, though i can't remember anything 50 years quite yet, but i can't find my glasses half the time and i get more and more clueless of the 'new world' every day. i haven't written a poem in ages except for the other day... but this has to be posted with a note that i wrote a really bad poem and someone made it good. smile. it's in terza riza form, and i think we know i just don't do 'forms' or 'rules' much. it might be a little gruesome, but the ending is positive, i hope. that was the intention, anyhow...

‘twas just another sad affair
the strings of warfare strumming doubt
the final game scored our despair

though in your mind you held the knout
which twists and flicks relentless ire
and wielding singes flail and flout

so long ago I bathed in fire
too numb with love to feel the flame
until I woke on funeral pyre

and fled your coruscating game
while screams of hate reverberate
my shifting memories casting blame

I wear the scars for it’s my fate
these shadow clothes that ghost my heart
my soul will soon regenerate

the chains that bound us wrenched apart
all vestiges of you depart
