Midnight
sun
The midnight sun
that glows on high
of your eyes
and skies of blue
midnight blue
that midnight sun
lights the darkness
with it's darkness
of midnight blue.
That is you.
You wrestle with
those memories of love
that was so true.
The people who you
drove away
were you
in some other life,
some other time
some view
of moonlight
on the high oaks
come through
it is you.
The midnight sun
sweeps the sky clouds
past the full moon.
That sun can not
be seen.
The trees move
in that sudden breeze.
The sky opens up and
rain comes all at once.
The memories of times
past are strongest
with the sudden rain
and the empty house.
The poles on the hill
are not visible in the
downpour, each a
tribute to a friend
who are those friends?
those friends are you
in some past life
when the pain of
lonliness, that sad place
when the drugs are gone,
when that pain of
lonli nodding off . . .
We are survivors,
you and me.
Saying that there is
love
makes no difference
to anyone.
I would come and
rescue you from that
midnight sun
if it really wasn't
burning so bright
just to make you see.
And when you see
it's light
it will show you
what you need to see.
How could I know
what that is?
I can not rescue
you
from yourself.
You will
rescue yourself.

With a beautiful smile
It seems wrong, just wrong, what some people
do to get attention. And I am an expert in these
things. So you'd better listen to me or else . . .
well, really, there are no consequences.
Lately it's been all of the days marching
forward into the enevitability of Thanksgiving
in a couple of weeks. And that will be a long
drive to a cold place to sleep on a hard bed
in a stuffy Summer room in Autumn. the
smell of old ant spray will be heavy in the
air. I must remember to bring my HEPA air
filter.
I get accused af always writing the story.
I write the story of this one and that one
and how they drove to such and such place
and had a meal and a couple of beers or
something else and take a walk on a long
path near a gorge or up a mountainside
or beside a lake out in a boat with
horizons of Addirondack Sunset warm in the
summer evening. But it hasn't been that
for me in a while. I'm here in Massachusetts.
No big lake sunsets here.
I do get a good small lake sunset here. The
Addirondack Sunset (from Vermont) really
is the most supurb kind for me. You get
that faraway twilight glow along the horizon.
It's awesome. So it will be good to go and
see it.
If you go up to Grand Isle make sure, if
you're coming from the south and along US Route 2,
that you stop at the sandbar cause way half way
from Milton to Grand Isle. Stop there and realize
that you are in the middle of the lake.
Then you can drive up to the ferry, leave the
car, take a round trip ferry ride. If you time it
right you will get to see the very famous and
always beautiful Adirondack Sunset.
Look for my short story by the same name.

Howie Carr called the

Senator a 'hackcident'.
Very Funny.
