Recalling Ronnie.... (b. '51?-'53?-- d. -'99?-'00?)
Dear Veronica,
Hard to be'lieve, (i be'lieve h'ow hard disbelief can be),
how long ago it was that We Were ('83-84ish) playmates
on some grid of love that did include no attachment, yet
was no way mere fucking, (for me, at least,at least for me, but perhaps
I overpride my idiot nobility)
O, those spring evenings makin'Love, all naked, on your Woodward St.
cottage porch, un concerned at who might be "seeing"...........
then....a few/several years later......i hear you're in a Mexican cancer clinic, grasping life-straws.
And shortly there-after. that you are dead. Mutual friend R. had been with
you several years, & was rather disconsolate. ...Lord, such sorrow be "young" death
My Detroit Elizabethan (love) Tragedy and I had gone to your hometown, Hamtramck, for Polish dinners,
But I never said a word about you, whilst thinking of you near the whole time).
I think I played flute at your memorial service, but may be wrong. I do recall your enjoyment at having been a "private audience" on those nights 3,5 decades ago.
Dear Elizabeth....Dear Ronnie.....aulde tymes are way far gone and indeed dead in so faulted (a)
memory as mine can be.................good'night, kid(s).......bless us each and all!
