         Rose said
            she’s decided within these last few days
            that she wants a ‘real’ marriage;
            she’s 37 and she wants a future.
         She said she used to love me
            to the point of idolizing me
            but now, … now she likes Jack a lot
            and, if he asks, she’ll continue
            to go with him.
         And, as for me …
            she’s not sure …
            she wants my love back like it was
            and she wants to hold me at a distance
            and comfort my pain like a mother
            but not to touch my body
            like a woman.
         Lise has left me a legacy;
            perhaps not what she’s imagined.
            She’s driven me to my knees
            with pain and insecurity
            but not before she saw me
            cut Rose to the bone
            with my love for her.
         And now Rose recedes as Lise did
            and my buddhist enlightened futures
            come a crushers with Christmas
            and a new year and life.

            I can feel the hours go run
              and I know more day by day
            that she won’t call.
            It’s still beyond me to understand
              how a woman who was in love with me
            could turn away
              so suddenly.
            So many things each day I’d like to tell her
              but she’s … she’s not there
            and I don’t think
              she’s coming again.

         Spiritual time is not sequential
           Shirley MacLaine says, its holographic.
         Thus our various reincarnations need not come sequential
           but in any order; backwards or forwards.
         If mankind truly is on the brink of destruction
           then it’s reasonable that we would only hear of ‘past’ lives.
         But without the sequential requirement
           the end of history, as we think of it,
         is no barrier
           to our life eternal.
