And so, all is forgiven
in death.
And the decade that
has passed since
your passing
has diluted
my memories
of your gruffness.
We all mellow
with age.
I too, am
no longer as
Decades pass
and I'm still writing
from youth through middle age
and here I am,
poet yet-
filling each blank page.
And justifiably you ask me
" Why?"
The reason for what I do,
I am not a Bread Loaf fellow
and I haven't been to Sewanee
adoration and fame
are not my cup of tea.
The Academy of American Poets
doesn't recognize my name,
no MFA
or Guggenheim
