it was always interesting reading there
of our opposing black belt bible sky
where your heyzues wore sandles strapless
and my more proper jesus wore spats

they both seemed to frequent the dens of sin
since their ink was nearly identical
matthew mark and lucy and joanne
except mine said luckyjoan and the irish

yours took the souls to heaven on sunday's
mine took them to the game sometimes
and bar-b-que behind the heaven inn after
for greasy pills and fat dog heartburns

but the caddy man didn't sort their cards
when he slipped them from the cold stone griddle
and boxed them for shippment to dirt cupboards
down behind the row of oaks of green lawn

where they all became worm dirt under crosses

Incredibly impressive, dear D.!

With death the differences die, but it seems that the living never get it, as they continue to fight each other in wars where no one wins and tears continue to flow ...

Thank you for this deep and insightful poem. Warhouse series promises to be of utmost significance.

Love,
Margherita

Daark,

You leave me just feeling quiet inside as I think of your words.  You touch me.

Thank you.

OK, this one has me shaking my head in amazement.  I do not know who you are as a writer, but my God, you CAN write!  I am certain that you have heard that one before, but this poem just blew me away!

Yo Dark Stranger,

Everyone becomes dirt somewhere.  I wonder if they still have Lenin hanging about?

It's amazing how people care so much about empty shells.

This is a wise poem.
