Who Was She Now That She's Gone ?
as if a cryptic night-tune
sealed in the concrete
and substrata of the motherland,
Brash Brooklyn with a hand
in the air signifying
something no one needs
to know, as in the Come-Go
of the tide(s)
and ghosted prophets.
City of Churches, once
(it) was called.
The iconic bridge
crossed many 100,000s times a day.
What else, where ?
When could it have been ?
in some cursed dream
that my Leah and I walked
over that stolid walkway
into the funk of old
Manhattan. ?
O, where'd she go
now that she's gone?
My sweet friend.
My b'loved travel
companion.
Now she's gone
gone ever gone.
Passed her life
as if an hour
my dream(s).
More than a dozen years since we went there to bury sainted Stella.
Now Leah's gone these eighteen months of eternity.
They (who Know) say to take comfort in "The Fact" that she's with Stella and all my
other beloved, dead relations, in some gilded "better place", and I am so, so
sorry that I cannot some silly childish solace . (I cannot 'imagine' human
consciousness having the "importance" (to the universe) that it will live in some
gross, self-involved ephemera , with all the heavenly hosts. I have No Idea of what should come next, and thus, cannot pretend to participate).
But I, and All, have to go.
To somewhere. To nowhere.
To Some Thing? Or No Thing?
My heart cannot abide This Place
too much longer.
