Poems today for someone who never knew me and someone who knew me.
Alone
i sat alone
watching you
from where i was
out of a corner
in my past mind
you seemed to nod
knowingly and fine
i thought i knew you.
------------------------------------------------------
it is raining outside my window
i won't close it though
i like to hear rain on cement
it sounds black somehow
and empty .....
it rained and
he gave me an orange.
(living near Granville Street in Vancouver in a rooming house alone as a teenager, in love with a boy who I watched in the window at a Health Food Store but it was a pointless thing so I wrote a poem)

Poem for the Lily
i drank
from
the sweet nectar
of dew
strung like a pearl
necklace
upon the flesh
petals
of a pale rose
i remember you
(for someone I loved very much as a young girl trying to go to school and find a home, someone who took me home and cared for me as I had no home, she was as lovely as a pale lily or a pale rose)
