Why I Cannot Take A Lover, 1975
The Washington Writer's Publishing House |
January
The grave is untended
I did not see your sound
Gone
Bounced off the house
Across the road
Where I now live
Radios still play
While you sleep
Did you know
Old lovers
Call me Ma'am
At night
I lean into my hand
Flesh microphone
Leaning in
Whispering
Good Night
Good Night
To each of you
The baby I'll never hold
The father in his ground
To each of you
Silence carries
Settles its land
Quiet snow
Falls from my heart
Covering the sky.
