walked 18. Today they must/
let him go. No words.

Life is like dancing./
Sometimes we need a partner/
to help keep the beat.
I thought perhaps my/
words could enfold and comfort/
her in her pained grief.
Don’t bother to write/
or phone. I am going to/
my garden alone.
One of her childhood/
heroes died. I don’t know how/
to say I’m sorry.
You have no clue who/
you are. How can I let you/
dictate who I am?
or
dictate my being?
She takes light and joy/
and sucks them into darkness,/
like some huge black hole.
OR
She takes my joy light/
and sucks it into darkness,/
like some huge black hole.
She was my friend. How/
can I judge her for sinning/
how I used to sin?
OR
She was my friend. How/
can I judge her for doing/
what I used to do?
She tried to friend me/
with her husband. Just stick a/
hot stake through my heart.
