Flashes
in midst of vicissitudes
you say
let bygones be bygones

how can this be
when one bygone has eloped
bagging along
his inadequacies
beyond boarders unknown
and the other lounged into a hole?

CONNECTION LOST (voice mail from the grave)
Slowly walking along three and twenty creek
downstream from the old rice fields
feeling all my old bones creak
but I ignore their appeals.

We need to believe (following Robert Frost) was chosen by an anonymous judge.
