Glad this entry created such discussion … and my words. Who am I? I am a poet who would love more readers to be honest!

your line: “Somewhere, I am also riding this boat to nowhere gloating words outward and rolling them all over my body” is sublime. who are you????

Love this…Loved her…Edith ‘Little Edie’ Bouvier Beale once said… It’s very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present. You know what I mean? It’s awfully difficult.
Grey Gardens is pure poetry because of Little Edie.

Dear Ramon,

I have embraced your words. This is all something so otherworldly, you writing to me, you and I writing back and forth. I needed this so badly now. I hope this makes you happy also.

I thought I would send another poem and then no more for awhile.

Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to the Cabin

Welcome has no good connotation,
You taught me that on a dark night
with a faltering moon,
addressing me like an envelope,
while undressing me with commands.
That was the night you kept me around for,
a fastidious bang on your high-traffic Serta
where I once found a pink lace B-cup
and knew I wasn’t the first, the last,
but the middle child with a body image complex.
You sat next to me only when you wanted me,
as if I were a cordial cherry dessert
melting under your eyes.
