K. St. Marie is in bed,
not sleeping,
but trying to
and that Goddamn Alice
is on the couch,
buried under the green blanket,
putting out heat.
I spend my nights here,
the TV talking loud,
the computer thinking quietly
and the mini-blinds closed tight.
I peek at the gay guy
next-door.
I suspect he knows more
about the disappearance
of my weenie dog
than he's telling...
I watch for clues –
nothing yet.
He's good...
| | The Forever Love...
takes you to the point
where it’s just
a soft cheek,
a few warm kisses
and no more goodbyes
to strangers –
