I wondered of the doorways
the trio of entertainment
like welcome matted music
with barefoot new shoeshines

and your eyes without the veils
which window would they open first
if I was their strangest safety
like momma told you about then

before you were a woman tree
with fragile limbs and leaves
that sometimes you moved aside
in case the moon was curious

I watched your mouth go dry
when you looked closely at the key
wondering how it would sound
in the damp locked secrets

and would I still love you
more than the wind's tomorrow
if you wanted three more rooms
in your castle and three more times

to write a new book of yesterday

Hmmmm..let's see......I think

sensual poetry....grin...
Great poem all over again...

that sometimes you moved aside
in case the moon was curious

she is curious, yellow
the curves she carves
in the aching spaces
of her mantree

...like momma told you about then

before you were ...

---

I remember voices
close to the ear
of truths that only
I would hear

and then
they faded
away...

and this, dear poet,
is what you have recalled.

As for the book?
May this friend of yours
write longing so.
