A Wink and a Kiss

It has been said my poetry has range
That it is high and low and in-between
Because I have lived much and seen such change
Now I can share with you what I have seen
Beautiful horrible sacred profane
Every breath and heartbeat day and night
All of it valid none of it in vain
All of it was fate and all of it right

I write it all down as well as I can
That which was and is and maybe could be
Alienation and absurdity
The life and love and death of you and me
Reflected by one lost and lonely man
In obsessive rhyme at the edge of time

I wonder just as you might wonder why
I go to this trouble only to die
But once I knew I wanted to live true
I felt called to write these things down for you
Who read this since I thought you might need this
My blood my blessing a wink and a kiss
