these times

in a landscape not abundant
..........in love
we were lowered
..........to the edge
like torsos .......... of the days

on the road
..........systems assembled
into sections:
newspaper, autumn, a tonne
of energy

- pleasure of childhood
the cat, the black one -
were no longer .......... the goal

we went interior (to joy
before death

of red) Beloved
............... of rain
yes, the interior ..... breathe!

...... of summer
tore me out of it

A beautiful Girl, tortured for brillance and beauty

She had a number of female lovers
