Transient Passings get it back, those thoughts, to where you were then last night without me while I dwell on you this morning, between reading McKuen cover to cover, uncovered again at seventeen and twenty-eight, the times when he entered my life so easily and now at fifty his words come more like a mellow wine with understanding so I finish him alone, there on the deck the glider rocking me, before the cottonwoods start snowing, while the springy breezes are still blowing as Abby sniffed her newspapers’ air and vied for attention from McKuen’s cats, her nose laying on a page not in need of being read and mourning doves vied for my ears with their coos for two where were you? I would have read aloud a passage or two my breath would have been a bit huskier in places as my pulse raced anticipation is a good thing what stunned me about his rites when I was seventeen, now raises a smile upon my lips in appreciation for what he so desired admired just once I want to be bent by McKuen’s words as you travel my thighs to a sigh’s realize… I was here. Where were you? ~*~ Repost from 22 April 01 Revised 19 April 02 |

I am now in poet heaven to read a poet who met McKuen smiling here... wondering what words of transient passed between two minds |

what stunned me about his rites when I was seventeen, now raises a smile upon my lips in appreciation for what he so desired Amen. *S* I've lost appreciation for many of the things that fascinated me at seventeen... thank goodness! LOL. But sometimes, there's something or someone I'm just glad I stumbled upon early. *S* Excellent! |
