Abstract Images of a Long Ago Love~ a Poem
Abstract Images of a Long Ago Love
Alighting on the morning dew,
my mind has repercussions of a night not long
and abstract images of you, the one I love.
You held me once and bare skin quivered along a spine of infinite pleasure
But I held you once, too long, too tight, and you were gone
like a startled snowflake on a wee child's palm.
(May 1969)
