you've touched your grandmother too

As into the future

But the big breaks never came
Or he took the wrong road or
The load was too heavy
Or not heavy at all, he
Ought to have made the big time,
But he made it small. . . . more

Such as me . . . more

The constant figure at your side
Through the deep snow and icy wind
Of the Siberian winter.
In the freezing nights she would climb
Beneath the covers of your bed . . . more

Basher of bibles,
Scrutinizer of woman, says,

She was so
Overwhelmed
By his words
That she threw
Herself at
Him and made
A complete
Wide-eyed fool

That can . . . more

behind half-closed lids

room chair, by the window,
she sits in wait.
The long, sleek tail
winding and twisting,
off the end
of her seat.
Her head rocks
to and fro watching . . . more

My hands feel icy
as I hold my collar . . . more
