    About this ebook

    Invocation: prayer for the lost dream
    To the person
    Who could have been a parson +
    To the actorlive wire
    Who wanted to be a cab-driva
    Or who went wild
    Over Lady Godiva
    I am speaking pal
    Of your lost dream gal
    The one that always
    Comes close (near Miss)
    Of Poets & Poemsonly a notion
    Of masterpieces muff-ed
    On bad association,
    Dreams postponed from
    Unwanted situations
    Charity cases without End:
    Lord grant me my true worth
    My karma mend.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
