The Great Perhaps

I was drizzle

She, a hurricane

I complained about my life

But she was in so much pain



"Run Run Run"

That is what we did

From the day I met her

I began to live



We smoked for the fun of it

She smoked to die

She was my Great Perhaps

And I'm left to wonder why



Why had she left us

She left that night

Did she forget something

Or did she have a fight



I loved her with all I am

I miss her so much

No matter the layers between us

I felt the warmth of her touch



I'm no longer looking

That task is done

But I'd do anything for one more time

To see Alaska Young....

Author's Notes/Comments:

Favorite Short Stories

The Mountains of Mourning (Lois McMasters-Bujold) is the finest short story ever written (Call Me Lord is pretty good too-can't remember author - won a Nebula Award for Sci-Fi-Fantasy). There's good lit and great lit and writers writers...nice reading of rhymes that are still shallow, a prose style without rhymes wit such depth awaits us yet, I believe professionally (poetry editor 30 years). Awesome insides - Lady A
