Billet-Doux

A billet-doux to you 
Beloved

To all those I’ve forgotten 
Hurt or neglected 

Over time and changing circumstance
And through my paucity of love

A billet-doux to you 

I’m grateful I had you in my life
For hours 
(long or short)

I’m sorry for our parting 

Through

Neglect
Or 
Offense 
(yours or mine)

I forgive you for your part
And I’m sorry for mine 

A billet-doux to you 
Beloved

Be well
Be well
Be well 

For Helen

I sing with a beautiful singer

She opens her mouth 
And 

Effortlessly 
(it seems)

Beauty and peace and joy and sorrow and kindness and goodness 
Flow

I sing with a beautiful singer

She opens her mouth 
And

I follow

Don’t You Wish

Don’t you wish you could gather up all your favorite people
And

Have coffee
And

Drink wine
And 

Eat Cake
And

Chips 
(with dip)
And 

Laugh
And 

Cry
And 

Listen
And 

Talk 
(over and under and with)
And

Love
And 
And

Don’t you?

Late Sweet Peas (for Fay)

Late sweet peas

Brought by a 

Friend in a

White 

Milk glass 

Vase

And 

I

Smile 
(again)

Sniff 
(and then)

Savour summers
(present and past)

And 

Breath in

Hope


You see me
You see me
You see me
