Brooklyn Was There (Leah 1987-2018)
LEAH (in collage) at Ft. Hamilton Pkwy Station, c.2000 /dkzk
bling (fOr) swing,
mrs
ladyking bring)s) home
the
muscle'choats
for them what canno
get out the dia-
mond mine, dirt stained
amidst the glitter and
fumes of their own destructuring.
When the house came down, we drove the camels home to
displays of hollow gratitude,
but such is better than y'd get from any
"real" folk on the highway back to
Brooklyn,( Manhattan, Queens, Staten, Bronx)
Then, the certainty that we'll never be able to go there together again, or Frisco, or Denver.
(& we had Fire Island, Dix Hills, Deer Park, Huntington, Kings Park,
Prospect Park, Doris Amen (Jurek) Funeral Home,
Bay Ridge, Ft,Hamilton, Verrazano,
Coney Island,
Our Lady of Czestochowa, Jackie Robinson Blvd.
or whatever grimy exotica we may fall into.
Brooklyn.
(My life was left behind since y'r gone, dear child),
and now that yr gone and now that yr gone
Now, a'gone
( I Loved having been there with you, with You)
More tears. More grief,
More Death, and what
of this Love?
GoodNight, Sweetheart.
