Not so long ago I found you in the Poet & Patriot drinking Guinness, laughing under a poster of Che. I fell in love that day with your Che and you my free spirit sister the activist ghost dancer catcher of dreams seeker of illusions. Today I find you on a bench in the garden at Villa Soquel gazing out to sea ferals rubbing against your ankles. I sit by you you smile into infinity. confined, they say, for your safety yet, still my free spirit sister dancing with resident ghosts weaving dreams dwelling in illusion.
