Thank You to the blue eyed warriors of my life
The first warrior, the rebel
with the motorcycle, the convertible and
blue eyes
I followed him willingly toward the path of womanhood
He . . . more

Whenever I walk to Suffern along the Erie track
I go by a poor old farmhouse with its shingles broken and black.
I suppose I've passed it a hundred times, but I always . . . more

The house is humming.
Kids playing.
Water boiling, sauce simmering.
I stir and watch and whistle.
My sweetheart sets the table.
Together we sit and eat.
Special valentine cupcakes.

(I wrote this when I was fifteen years old)
I laugh,
go to school,
giggle with my friends
and flirt with boys,
Pretending

Tender as a rose petal,
Soft speaking and warm
You enter the world of wonders,
Not knowing any pains and fears,
Free from memories,
Open for experiences,
Ready for encounters,
You . . . more

Painted in pastel hue
I threw wide the shutters of memory
And gasped in wonder of the view
Luscious green valleys
Majestic mountains near at hand
I gazed in sheer amazement . . . more

It smells like snow ,

It seems just yesterday that I held you in my arms
Your tiny head nestled against my breast
While you tried to find some nourishment.
But before I knew it you were going to school
Even though you had . . . more

At noon, spread my legs, took a brisk walk in the sun,
Alone, by myself, not for grief or remorse,
Just some time all alone, for reflection, of course
As I went, tried catching rays, between my forefinger . . . more

A hard life exacting hard labor
with little money to show for it
