Dark Alleys


I tire of looking around corners  
down dark alleys where you might be
so dark I can not see if you are there
and have come to think that you hide away
in some recessed doorway to watch for searching eyes

Why must I persist in such a dangerous pursuit
expose myself to the cold and the driving rain
when I should be sitting quiet and warm
exchange glances and hear murmurs
of all the lines we had written

but there is no one there
is no one there?
no one

I, for one, am glad of your persistance.



It's always good to read you, e.


You've got this delicate edge that I appreciate very much.

They say at some point you just have to give up. I disagree. Keep searching.
