Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Entry June 27 I stood long where you left me.Night was all around meand the stars pecked at itwith fierce acetylene silver beaks.A little thin moon scared the sky.Then I walked...My arm around the emptiness of you beside me. And because you were total in my eyes like sudden blindness,I saw only you.You were my purpose and my way.You were the bright articulate lightsand the dark lonely streets.You were each door and windowand every passing face. And because you were indelible in my blood and brainin infinite copies- without drink or deliriummy mind conceived you.My senses registered you dimensionally. And it was beautiful,Oh then it was beautiful in a high beautiful city.In a tall lighted beautiful world.The moon was youngand the stars winked like fireflies in tall grass.Night was a jeweled tent around us,and we were wonderfully alone and sleepyas we always are just after love.
