I get so disappointed
with the women in my life.

So soft and warm at first
until they find the knife.

They seem to want to love you
and hold you to their heart

while ever deeper into them
their loving waters part.

But, at some point,
it always seems
their loving trust
yields clutching screams.

I’ve become indifferent
to Gerda, sexually.
We talked about it
on the fourth day…

Our friendship
runs a deeper course
and the ‘we’ we are
will survive.

Lise talks to me
even here in the Canadian north.

I see hair like hers
… and skin like hers
and I ache from missing her now
… and in my future.
