PARADISES LOST ...
PARADISES LOST ...
For Vivienne, My M.E. Friend in Essex
Travelling was a particular passion
In my previous life ...
Speaking
different languages ...
Seeing different
cultures and places ...
I try Buddhistic equanimity, but ...
It pains profoundly
and cuts like a knife ...
That I now see, only
occasionally ...
Very few, and
familiar ...
Places and faces ...
Friends send me postcards ..
Regale me with tales
of travel ...
They're trying to be thoughtful ...
But it just makes me
unravel ...
How I wish I were like Emmy ...
My funny, furry,
feline ...
Enjoying life,
especially as ...
She has not one, but
nine.
