Barbara
Let us be seatedin the silence
Of this autumn evening
And speak softly together
While the leaves gather round
As families round the fires and
embers in the sky
Of our mutual passing
Our mutual deaths
Our mutual dreams
So lay back
Smoke up
In the mind of our long, last surrender
Put your feet upon the high
of our pasts
Stretch out
And sink into a memory
Of me
Of you
Of growing up
Lets fondle the images of adolescence
And let us love
and cuddle
And smile
And let us touch the tender lace
Of that shared face
Of the mutual memory
