ON MOVING ON

where does little one go

who formerly followed flow 

of warmth and light

which so excite 

when power shuts down?

does she simply hover

like abandoned lover

making no sound,

fall to the ground

or does she

at time when he

calls it the end

send heart-vibes

around earth's bend

is she who flew

with someone new

to experience blame

for hovering around

a hotter flame

Never...

Ever

ME AND MY BOTTLE

The Bottle: My friend, my lover, my God

Touched him
He was cold
Looked at him
He was old

One evening, not too long ago
Before all these happenings
We kissed--under mistletoe
Had felt his heart faster beating

Now, far under heavy stone
Not this time to rise
Thoughts are: Glad he's gone.
Finally now realize I'm alone
...And lonely.

Good bye, dear sweet man.
