You told me
to climb up, but mostly down
down your neck.
Down your vision-ladders,
and down the convenient slit
in your most comfortable sweatshirt.

I tried
with thumbless hands,
toeless feet-
to turn your heart's doorknobs,
open your mind's jar.

The three-dollar wine
sustained your drunken footsteps.
And midnight laughter-
it sustained what I thought
thought must be love.

Smiling here, too. Hey, let's learn some lock picking, eh?

My dear SEA... Glad to have brought a little joy to your day. You keep it up, and I will crack open a bottle of SIX dollar wine (oh yeah: the good, spendy stuff.) and do my best to talk you into coming up here, to the frozen north

And my new friend Kaoru... You are wonderful. You manage to make me smile with your wit, with most every reply to my poems. Must be a Minnesotan thing, eh?

Everyone deserves to be loved, even you.
