Silent Friends<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She wore boots with an attitude
\nand drove a silver pickup like the Lone Ranger.
\nSometimes I\u2019d meet her at the corner
\nfor two, three days, then I\u2019d miss her.
\nEither I was late or she early
\nor maybe she was sick, on vacation.
\nBut then I\u2019d see her again.
\nI want to know her name, where she lives.
\nIs she married? Single? Does she like to laugh?
\nI know where she works. I could meet her.
\nI could talk to her. I could find out.
\nWhat if she doesn\u2019t like me?
\nWhat if she doesn\u2019t wonder about me like I do her?
\nWhat if we\u2019re only waving friends?
\nI want to leave notes on her pickup
\nor call her office.
\nWould I know her voice?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Woman Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am not
\na man
\nnor
\ndo I want
\nto be
\none.
\nI am a woman
\naware
\nof joys and sorrows
\nas if
\nmine.
\nI love a woman as she
\nloves me more
\nthan a man
\nas a woman
\ncould only know.
\nWith hands
\nas well as mind
\na melding of souls.
\nCondemn me
\nnot
\nfor I am
\nnot
\na man.
\n <\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nA Woman Met<\/strong><\/p>\n

How differently we fit like fork and spoon
\nyet bent the same.
\nSo long since being touched —
\ngoose bumps on my naked body
\nlying on the bed, waiting for her.
\nHands shiver a whisper and sizzle coals.
\nNo betrayal of love past, gone, dead.
\nMy heart expands but never forgets.
\nI can\u2019t die while still alive,
\nand I live.
\nI live with this other
\ntoday! tonight!
\ntomorrow? forever?<\/p>\n
