Dear All
For your possible attention.
Warmest

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
