Beryl 21 you were, infectious smile nubian beauty in all your glory. Admire her? worship her? Take your pick. The picture did not look like you except I could tell by your hands.A little blurry but your flower was showing and I never felt so humble or unworthy or chosen dare I say

Covered Bridge
Covered Bridge
Searching for the covered bridge and the leaves orange, yellow, red
in radiant brilliance soon to be dead
I found a small cafe in the sleepy corner of town while getting
off the merry go round
I grilled the lady at the counter like some old gumshoe sifting
false from true
I eschewed the coffee for a sandwich on rye thinking where I'd
been, where I was going and just how I'd get by
I stayed after closing like some drunk at 3 in the morning but
it was only 2 in the afternoon
I took a cell phone call and decided that was all as I changed my mind and took that Kenyan coffee out the door
driving through the multicolored countryside and wanting nothing
more

Suzanne
I had a dream about you last night
Naked from the back
It's been thirty years
Two houses down there would be
trouble in three years
Friends with benefits I guess they
would say today
Ah I could not love you and
I knew it
The next guy got you pregnant
As I slithered away in the autumn
leaves
