lying down beside him—

at night her ghost
touches his back— and sighs

Oooooh. Chillingly lovely.

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

Thank you

I seem to touch something on the periphery
The South Africans and Australians,
with a few Americans,
like the Japanese, seem to recognize
that being classically  sentimental is not stupid
but something preciously human.

Thanks again.


John
