..........on this other side we always talk around
the mists must be somewhat warmer
.....and beaches have to sweat with poets
..................and painters of love

..lit the candle
....sense the snuff

.........‘pon which we paint the day’s cruel stuff
I wonder if our wires cross again
........what quilt we will be weaving
....sail me to that distant shore
...............that we were both but conceiving
