1. heather


went by Jerrys Deli
thought of her
just one time then she was gone
we talked common ground
she knew
Lenny Bruce's daughter
she like his work
I liked her
91 i was washing dishes
at the burbank airport
my Friend Garth & I
would drink till I had to go to work
When I met Heather
she was kind of Garths girl
Garth is like a brother to me
still
she kissed me
while he was sleeping upstairs
I think in part
cause i was drunk enough
to jump in the ocean at 5 in the morning
she followed me
thats when i notice her more
I was after her friend

I ate Jerrys almost every night with
Garth getting to know her friend
Garth was trying to know Heather
What draws people together
I remember her kiss
I remember her body
it hurt to remember
she shook me all night long played
that night
that song burns now
like an acid flashback vivid
i am all the women
i have loved
some women tell me
i cant move forward carring memory
i cant let go
of things that touched me
I loved my prufrock brother
not enough
this wouldnt be the first women
i took from him
sometimes I think the way my memory burn is payment
for not being loyal to my friend
my heart
doesnt argue it just moves
heather was a movement
I had to make
she told me if we had sex she be gone
I didnt believe her
long talks
long kises
made me believe
she wouldnt go
i wish I knew
why
she could just leave me
blonde hair
white legs
the warmth i felt only once
why did she leave
its funny Garth still feels bad for me
when we talk of Heather
