Dear All For your possible attention. Warmest Alan ------------------------------------------------------------ Neglect At last I know What's been wrong for me That absence of care Which leaves you wondering where you are As the wind howls Through broken windows to your soul Framing a derelict construction In the backyard of inattention At last I know What's been wrong for us That plain-speaking nonsense Which leaves out what's within us As the mind growls Against the disruption of its face Painted on the wall that stands In the foreground of rejection Where two sides can never meet Each seeking the other's complete defeat In hollow victory Where wind howls As mind growls Against the dying of the light Until, at last, a loophole's found Where lonely figure finds its place In ground Where deserted ground extends its space Through figure Each finding life In the care of the other Where what's good for the life and love of both Is good for the life and love of each Despite appearances that seem to teach The need to preserve against the other's reach
