The space we share together— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
lies just behind her front door
there we yield to what we’ve been becoming
and follow our impassioned spore
we enfold each other with openness
and from this vision, brown eyes appear
with the warmth in our stomachs caressing us
we form moments, both rare and clear
and our words and hands give voice to love.

Wednesday, June 22nd, 1983But how long can you love me, sweet sister, mine— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
alone against aging, insecurities and wine
and what can I capture of my heart as you spoke
drawn to love you against the fear that you’re broke.

Thursday, June 23rd, 1983Poetry flows when I feel my life coming to grips with itself— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
the visions coming faster, questions tumble, candy from a jar
are we here as something more than a stepping stone
along the journey of life’s longing for itself?
The wind blows, the leaves fall, the mottled sunlight carresses me
but my mind considers here…
am I God or man, mortal or immortal
does it matter, these things I think?
what does the ant think in the sink
when the plug is pulled?
