Loneliness of Being One (To Will Liao)

against solitude

sunrise
sunset these mean
nothing to you who slip
in and out of awakening
alone

the pain
comes in waves but
never goes away it
stays to harry and heckle you
alone

in health
in illness and in
dying the most pain is
the thought that you are solitary
alone

yet we
who love you stand
in close proximity
we stay so you know you are not
alone//

remembering the missing & missing the remembered

and then there were five
and a half

those were
the days when life
was now and tomorrow
had nothing to do with the past
we were

we thought
forever the
gang of eight and a half
Jess and Jun Ray and Roy Cris and
Chito

Rudy
and Edgar with
Bobby the great one half
we all had high hopes for life was
so good

Rudy
was first to go
with a burst vessel in
his brain while asleep leaving just
seven

and a
half of the gang
next went Roy felled slowly
by a virus he denied he
had to

very
end followed now
by Edgar the kind who
was taken by Azrael the
crowned one

too soon
too soon they have
left and gone leaving five
and a half of us to wonder
who’s next//

under siege

while we wait

in this
time of the crown
this deadly devouring
scourge love persists and distancing
unites

A Hymn to Him

rondeau en rondeau

round he is not my little pet
ten will he be but not just yet
I love him like an only child
but his feelings for me are mild
t'was love at first sight when we met
nine years later love has not set
it will remain lest I forget
with time's toll we are reconciled
round he is not
French is his name yet he is nyet
all day asleep and he is all set
just don't expect him to run wild
my puppy and I are just mild
being laid back he has no regret
round he is not//

and so it goes

muscae volitantes

floating
pieces of my
memories just beyond
the pale of the eyesight of my
dim mind

in the
morass of my
past the flotsam of what
I thought I knew flit by out of
my reach

still in
blind hope I wait
unwittingly for thoughts
long gone for wit long lost to me
I wait//

departures

in this empty room

no chats
day in day out
for days and days the room
stands still almost forlorn until
someone

departs
leaving the rest
still remaining to grieve
and touch before our room goes
empty//

recension

every
decision that
we make we always think
we ought to rethink not leaving
what is well enough
alone//

heartstrings

before
poets troped the word
anatomists knew the
aortic and pulmonary
vessels

hollow
cables holding
down the fort we call
our heart//

The Choices We Make

RSVP

in her
hilltop home with
seven columns wisdom
had set her table with ample
meat and

wine for
her invited
guests all simple sans nous
most went to the house of folly
instead//

Tongue in Cheek

remembering nitoy (b 21-08-1946)

if there
really is an
afterlife i am still
waiting for a postcard from you
maybe

you were
right after all
but in case you're wrong let
bygones be bygones my email's
unchanged//
