 Deep in the nightquark like memory trembles, down the roadI did not take I was lockedin that rose garden. You, shining, amplified,a giant behind my man your mind a flare ofgreatness. You spun century& tribe, gave voice to hopeful monsters. There you sit, stuck:& here I stand time reverses everyknown law; but love remainsthrough scars we bore, our tussleof difference mind to mind. High on Majorcanhillside, scramble over crumbling wall,you strode your truth not mine. Now only love remains,a silver thread of light to guide us throughour next story. (Listen here )
