please
women gone and lost forever
not minding the women gone, not even minding the years
lost forever
if
we could just have some peace now - a year of peace, a month of
peace, a week of peace -
not peace for the world - just a selfish bit of peace
for me
to loll in like in green warm
water, just a bit of it, just an hour of it, some
peace, yes, in the night in the night while thinking of
the years lost and the women gone in this night in this very long
dark and lonely
night.
