Poem Shards

aug 1
 midnight
 and the moon
 terse
 
 heat
 on your shirt
 the back of your neck
 in the breeze from a fan.
 
 terse
 your smile
 the far away isled that
 glisten within the cool midnight breezes
 hither,
 thiter
 ever wandering goes the flow.
 
 The Kings of old
 might have taken down their kingdoms 
 and tried to steal away 
 from their noble obligations
 and the constant carryings on of the
 carrying on (those who were carrying on).
 
 Of those very many midnight 
 secret
 dancing moon forest knoll and gorge
 or river bend, a safe and cool swiming spot.
 
 The moon up through the water full
 this midnight
 with your
 terse
 embrace
 as you rap me in a dry towel
 after I've pulled myself up onto the dock.
 I
 do not shiver nor think
 much of what you have done it's
 later.
 You're gone now
 forever
or whatever.

I lapse
into a terse
regret
the moon
tells me what it used to say to me
glisten the railings, the
slate roof, the fence and the driveway
midnight
after too much driving
gabbing relatives in a tizzy of
remembering
and recollecting through descriptions
of words
of things that they used to do.
None of it gets done anymore
only the memory 
of what might have been said, 
words that could have been spoken
when all were welcome
some never came, you
look at me blankly
like you had no words for me I see
you and you can't recollect this Saturday
not ever
we were lonly
it wasn't because of you
there was an anger
it was never spoken or expressed
I went on with it.
I don't understand any of it
some of this is needing to die when we do
so far future time let us hope.
