silly silly silly me to think my love is comforting to think my love means any thing at all to you in sweat drench sheets at three a.m. then three-o-one tick tock tick tock the angel comes in style, old testament. Oh, my love, the loneliness of these nights as if to test your will your troth tick tock assess the angels come new testament. You touch your face and find it cold, despite the embers of your bones chatter-chatter teeth in clench the battlefield your bed and this? Your mighty-tiny fragile fist, I kiss. I hum the tune that is your wish to have a river full of fish applauding you with rainbow fins etching eights on ice in flight free in grace and spiraling mid-air it's there no pain exists. Dream you sweet my love, goodnight. I'll be here tomorrow night. Rest your skates; lean into me. I'll pivot as you fly in bliss such beauty in your silhouette in harmony with sky. |

Thank you, and our Helen is among the regrets I have about de-activating my Facebook account. If someone is in touch with her? Tell her she owes me a phone call, k? *smile* And I owe HER a whole lotta love. Thank you all for reading. |

I had worried about posting this poem, but as was her way, she phoned me to thank me--and now I'm so grateful that I did so--our last words to each other were "I love you." I'm already missing you my Helen. No more pain for you baby... |

Beautifully written Karen. It's lovely you were able to reach out and speak with Helen to share your thoughts and I Love You's last month. What a wonderful memory to cherish today, and always. Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

If you note the time of day this was posted, there is a little story about that. I had been given a higher dosage pf an antiviral which made me feel weirder than usual and I had a high fever. It broke, and I wrote this, not deliberately in her style, but as I told her later, that I felt her presence so intensely that I didn't feel like I'd written this at all... She sounded so good, Kit. A fierce but loving warrior and a dear friend to all has been taken from us. She had told me she had some exciting news and I should wait for her next call. I will, Helen. I will. If anyone can break through the mystery veil, it would be you. What a gift to us all she has been. My condolences to her family, especially her sons of whom she was so proud. *touching the screen* I'll have church for you tonight, dear Helen. |

Lady G, if I have learned anything in my losses, and especially those that transcended these halls of blue, our poets do reach out and touch us, and we will continue to write to them, of them, and shared with others what they meant to us. In that way, we honor not only our care, love, and intimacies of them with others, but we also honor them as the poets who taught us so much. My time away from PiP was for many and varied reasons.... it is time to return, and take in all of the love we have ever had for one another. And to learn even more of what makes a poet tick. Helen will never quit ticking, I'm sure, in all of our hearts. |

You were so inspired when you wrote this really. Enjoyed reading it again. It was so good that you had that last conversation with Helen. Yes, we shall continue to be connected. Love and hugs. Margherita |
