Oh I guess
in retrospect
we garnered quite
"the look" -

me in my best dusty jeans
and she
in Bobby Brooks:

Wide lapel
with a stick-pin
initialed by the letter "eff"--
dizzy in the daze of dues
unrealizing genuflect

understanding
lesbian
never bothering detail,
walking with our fingers splayed
together in the private hell
of each other's company

as if we were au naturale

as if we were two girls at play

as if we were two girls who knew

that our time was running loose,

curved in hourglass.


Maybe that's why I hate sand.

(Keep it off my beaches please.)

God I hate the grains of it
running so dry through my hands
leaving me alone with grit
digging ampersand...it is

all of me let loose

alone

all the complicate of me

grief

and oh

futility

of piling hills that spread and bleed--

dragging back the best of me

in undulating waves

I am

the shell of her in spiralling

clutching tiny rocks between

the fullness of myself

I am

her

with specks of me...

I think we are all specks of each other with a bit of our own color washed in.

Thank you for reminding me how wonderful it is to be a woman.

*hugging myself*

Where she goes, no one knows. But most will follow...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

thank you all

Just taking a little stroll down memory lane after I came across an old year book.

I wish I had a picture of her. She truly is very beautiful, but I guess I'll just have to try to write her for you all.

and Kari? last night I ate pickles and vegemite on toast. grin...I do love that stuff. (thanks to our sweet maree) to you both.

I appreciate the generosity of the replies, good people.

(and just for the record, big boobs frighten me)

Wow...

I think I had forgotten how your poetry effects me...

This entire series touches so deeply... I can't even begin to explain...

You just amaze me, lady...

and your poetry makes me 'feel' like no one elses does...

Thank you for that...

and for you...
