My family’s wound envelopes me.
I feel Danny’s need … as I remember my own years …
in lucid moments between the running days I remember him
and wonder how I can feel so strongly
and do so little for love.Everyone seems to live simpler lives than I
rootless man living off many lives
and not having one of my own to share or claimI wait for history’s wheels to spew me out
frantically waiting on Godot and wisdom to find me…
… spoiled child … karmic wastrelFive minutes with Rose on the phone in anger
and my family’s wound envelopes me….gallagher
