Footnote #4

By


People change in a flash. 
People change, painfully.

I knew someone yesterday.
Today I don't.

The emptiness scalds me.
The blanks in my life haunt me.

Someone was mine yesterday.
Today no more.

Today she has the world,
I have just myself and my misery.

But it's love, they say.
And I, (no, not we) shall overcome.

By
(a cutout) The grey cat stirs upon the ledge, The bay is thick with flecks of white— Swift rays across the falling wall below, The floor before my bed is bright. From crumbling walls white-headed crows take flight. And half out of sleep I watch your sleeping face: Grateful for the resin-scented night. I get up and go out in a solitary daze… Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
