Underneath the smiles
Lies a heart blown by weather.
She thought you a friend.

Peter, Paul and Mary
With my heart breaking,
You visit me this evening
Tenderly again.
Peter, Paul and Mary
Afternoon Visit
Skin thin as paper
Folded on my mother’s arm.
My heart breaks with love.

White mass on your brain
And you, brother, far away.
The pain sears my heart.
Sunday Morning
Vivaldi’s second
Spring, sadder than the season,
Evokes this soul ache.
Two a.m.
September city sounds,
Crickets, rhythmic thunk of ceiling fan whirring crooked,
Distant dog barking.
Encouraging them to bury the words
This conversation is done,
I realize futility.
Acid burn.
Single
Suddenly all changed
After months separated —
Promises broken.

Carol Cizauskas and Don Prather – CalNeva, Lake Tahoe – Sunday, 26 August 2012
Constantly apart
Savoring only moments
Together in love.
