Dream on a various night
So in the dream
I reviewed all the women I had loved
from middle school, in the fields by the graveyards , on up
girlfriends bar nights wives
all and everyone
they all wore your face !
I tried the dream again
beds on 12th St, Passyunk and Powelton
under a boardwalk, in a car’s back seat
in a field again
at a drive-in triple feature! parts of
which I missed-all your face again
I don’t think anyone else exists now
even when I want to conjure them up
all the old majics are gone
it is only you
and only me
is this comforting or frightening
Some night
I will try again
to have this dream without your face
it will not work
There is still the past
but it is a past that has passed

Hey, I like the poem. It’s about Paula, right? lol
Yes it is.
I’ve been too busy to write much.
Thanks for noticing.
I’ll have to check out yours.

This is actually a response to your response to Ferguson again. First of all, thanks. I haven’t read the Bible in a while as that requires me to plow through the King James version which is all I have right now. Is there a good version on the Internet? For instance, could I find the complete Deuteronomy 12 and 13, so I could respond to your posts?
Thanks
