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.
