DEAR ONES

Dear Ones — you who fly-away too soon And you, Brave Hearts, who watched them go Yet carry-on past the crying. Oh, I sing your double-song, Bow my body down To hold the weight of your sorrows Then to rise and lift alive your memory, You Dear Ones and Brave Hearts, That your songs will […]

GLISTENINGS

GLISTENINGS — Till Death Do Us Part — A book of poems about and for Marilyn and some events of our shared life.  The concluding REQUIEM ELYSIUM (the only AFLAME in the book written after her death) is an existential cry/laud such as I’ve not seen elsewhere.
