There will always be
someone to promise you Manhattan
Age-reversal tonics
Nirvana
tasty crepes
wonderful children
tickets to the Super Bowl
perfectly sculptured nails
but only I
can make no promises
and still wake
with you tomorrow.Everyone was there
my mum who put me up for adoption then died from cancer
my mum who raised me then died from old age
my brother who still is my favourite human who died of AIDS
my girl friend who killed herself in 1987
my girl friend who killed herself in 1972
my master teacher who died of a brain tumour
my master teacher who killed herself
my dog (puppy) who chased another dog whilst in heat never to return
We shared a glass of liquid light
talked about the old days
and how strange it was
that I was still alive
when the plan had always been
that I would go first
and meet all of them
after I had set the table
for this our final meal together. 8-20-1994 Victor Harbor South Australia
