A few days away from everyone
and, finally, some perspective.
It’s becoming clear I want to become
platonic with Rose for both our sakes
and it’s clear also
that Joan’s idea of going slow is good.
Rose and I will never be
what the other’s looking for
and Joan and I or anyone else
can never succeed
unless I can approach love
in a centered way.
I’ve fallen into Joan so quickly
and felt her presence so strongly.
What about just me, alone …
no Rose, no Joan, no Lise.
Just me, centered, happy, and optimistic
and realistic.
That’s someone worth sharing with another.
