Ths poem has been publishhed before. I felt the need to repost it with a new name.

the taste of your kisses
have remained in my mouth
all these years
I see your smile each and every day
we were planning
a brand new honeymoon
after all these years
after my three marriages
after your two
you told me you'd been with many men
during our long separation
I laughed
let's not start counting
then you got sick
real sick
cancer of the brain sick
goddamn it
you lay and suffered
screaming for morphine
before you died
our brand new honeymoon
would never be

I have read this poem before. I felt your sadness then, and I also feel your sadness now. Well-expressed, Jerry!
