Ode to Lost Love

 
I awake early and
I have nothing to say
but your name.

I awake early and
I have nothing to remember
But your face.

I am the wild beast, who,
After being befriended,
Turns to bite the hand
So gentle and understanding.

I awake early and
I have nothing to scream
But your name.

--1973, Hollywood, CA
