I found your candy
in the freezer
{I knew it was there}
It's been a long time;not,
not long enough to
just ...throw...it...a// way.

&,...the seed catalogue,...
i mean.who.knew...
The beauty of a Flashy Butter Gem
(lettuce/let us)...or a Violet Jasper
(tomato/ two mate O)...you know how I tabbed all
the...pages.

&the; corks
One for every bottle
we...shared
listening to Moore
Sacre' Bleu.

&the; book. of. poems
your grandmother's
gift,...how could
you
just.leave.it...?

...bare

Woke to sense... the rain;
it was hardly evident
sparse puddles on dry concrete
In coffee shops the old men will chatter
{what happened to the rain}
...Merely a sprinkle ...
not quite a drizzle;while the world slept. But the grass knows and
the trees and the
humming birds on Electric Avenue.
All the soft things know when
...it rains...
And so I thought of you,
and how you lay me naked,
...without ever
being
in
the room....

You,...you
with your blue {so like the ocean
you.love/live} eyes

blonde {sunray} hair
left your fingerprint...ts.....
every.where.
I can pardon ....the books/art/words
the pink beach cru{freedom}iser
but,
the {lump.in.my.throat}
your,...parking permit;
still hangs
by.the.keys.
