Thai Buddha statues
Quiet in the night
Susan Darlene Meek
Gatsby's green light

San Francisco Zen
But only for an hour
Some say rest in peace
Some say rest in power

                   Ole!

Politics is *******
The Losers always win
Dr. Thomas was my teacher
Thomas means the Twin

Dublin in the mist
Vienna in the snow
California sun
Yoko yo yo yo yo!

                    rest

I like City of Ember
Long live Lina and Doon!
In the bedroom African sculpture
In our kitchen Flaming June

Books have been companions
But now I sleep till noon
Death on the horizon
How soon, Susan, how soon?

Text my son today
Make sure he is alright
Trump is the Abyss
Sor Juana's mystic flight

Embers by Sandor Marai
Gatsby's green light
Encounters with Chinese Hermits
Abgescheidenheit


                     Books!

There's no life after death
      My time ticks away
                     55

I'm a troubled soul
Never long at ease
Please, baby, please

             Courage!

I can feel death bearing down
My time ticks away
If she were here tomorrow
Don't know what I'd say

Please happiness for my sons
Happiness, please - xie xie
I can feel death bearing down
Dawn goes down to day

                silently I pray
