ignoring logic,
jump out downtown,
visit quiet streets
without friends, sing
loudly,
a longing for love,
then stumble, allow
the street people
to notice you, your
air of discrete
disaster, then
hold-on, ready,
grasp your head
and scream, No!"
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
